Protecting Children Course Collection for Higher Ed

This course was designed for educators who work with minors. After consulting with industry experts, the course aims to help educators:

• Identify what boundaries are
• Differentiate between different types of boundaries
• Recognize how boundaries differ from rules
• Understand how a boundary crossing is different than a boundary violation
• Stay vigilant when they sense their actions or a student's actions are approaching a boundary
• Recognize the consequences for themselves and their students when boundaries are crossed

The course uses scenarios and interactive exercises to illustrate how easily educators can find themselves in a situation where boundaries are being approached and how they can safely navigate away from boundaries.
