Through music, video, and classroom activities, the “Don’t Laugh at Me” (DLAM) curriculum helps sensitize children to the painful effects of harmful behaviors – ridicule, disrespect, ostracism and bullying. The curriculum addresses four key areas: expressing and managing feelings, building community, resolving conflict creatively, and celebrating diversity.
The site provides a 19-lesson curriculum, as well as the music and videos that accompany the lessons. One section of the site discusses the research and statistics that back up this approach.
