Learn MoreNearly one in three Ontario students report being bullied at school.1
Reducing bullying in our schools requires more than an academic eduction. It requires character education.
That’s where Thinking Forward comes in…
Thinking Forward provides anti-bullying character and leadership education to decrease bullying in TDSB schools.
Our arts-based program focuses on three themes: Inward Leadership, Outward Leadership and Forward Leadership.
Here’s How It Works…
INWARD LEADERSHIP is about me.
Developing responsibility, integrity and discovering unique strengths.
OUTWARD LEADERSHIP is about others.
Collaboration, team-building and using each other’s strengths.
FORWARD LEADERSHIP is about the community.
Taking initiative to create positive change.
