Sawchuk, S. (2018, January 29). What Do Schools Teach About Sexual Harassment?

Twice a month, 8th grade English teacher Stephany Copeland hosts what she calls a “gender assembly” for the 55 girls she teaches at the KIPP Rise Academy in Newark, N.J. They’re usually oriented around things that the girls want to talk about, and given their age, that often means the power dynamics between boys and girls. “Little things will happen—a boy will take a picture of a girl after school, and she will say, u2018Delete that,’ and he’ll refuse, so we do things like address that,” Copeland said.
