In partnership with the Be A STAR Anti-bullying Campaign, the National Education Association Health Information Network is proud to introduce a new complimentary teaching resource for educators. The compelling new film, “That’s What I Am”, touches on the growing national problem of bullying in schools. Staring Academy Award-nominated actor Ed Harris, “That’s What I Am” presents a moving and thought-provoking exploration of the insidious ways in which bullying can affect people of all ages. The instructional activities presented in this resource guide help teach your students about bullying, cyberbullying, character pillars and social equality. Through self-reflection about the positive examples of moral character represented in the movie, students can begin to develop the necessary tools to prevent bullying. To access this complimentary program go to the Be A Star site.
Program Features: This is a really great resource for educators that can easily be incorporated into an existing curriculum. “The film is really about tolerance and kindness and understanding and respecting differences, it’s kind of an anti-bullying movie, which is maybe not a bad message for these days”. – Ed Harris
