Childhood Victories - Be Seen and Heard

Greetings Parents and Guardians,


Erin’s Law, House Bill 6193, was signed by Governor Pat Quinn on January 24, 2013. This law requires schools to implement an age-appropriate sexual assault and abuse awareness and prevention curriculum for grades pre-K through 12. West Harvey- Dixmoor School District 147 researched best practices and programs for delivering this instruction. We reviewed several recommended programs and visited several area school districts to observe programs in action. We are very pleased to share that Childhood Victories will be assisting our schools with the curriculum entitled Be Seen and Heard©, a prevention-oriented child sexual abuse program. This curriculum is developmentally appropriate, interactive, and aligned with the learning standards associated with the law. The focus of the presentation is to teach students basic skills to keep them safe from danger-ous or abusive situations. The concepts that will be discussed are: Distinguishing safe from unsafe touches Safety rules at home and school Saying "NO" Safe/Unsafe Secrets It’s not the child’s fault if someone touches him or her. Telling a trusted adult To learn more about this curriculum, go to www.PeaceofMindVideos.com. 


Saludos, padres y tutores,


La Ley de Erin, Proyecto de Ley 6193 de la Cámara de Representantes, fue firmada por el
Gobernador Pat Quinn el 24 de Enero de 2013. Esta ley exige que las escuelas implementen
un currículo de concientización y prevención del abuso y la agresión sexual apropiado para
cada edad, desde preescolar hasta el 12.º grado. El Distrito Escolar 147 de West Harvey-
Dixmoor investigó las mejores prácticas y programas para impartir esta instrucción. Revisamos
varios programas recomendados y visitamos varios distritos escolares de la zona para
observarlos en acción. Nos complace anunciar que Childhood Victories apoyará a nuestras
escuelas con el currículo "Sé Visto y Escuchado"©, un programa de prevención del abuso
sexual infantil. Este currículo es apropiado para el desarrollo, interactivo y se ajusta a los
estándares de aprendizaje asociados con la ley. El objetivo de la presentación es enseñar a los
estudiantes habilidades básicas para mantenerse a salvo de situaciones peligrosas o abusivas.
Los conceptos que se abordarán son: Distinguir entre toques seguros e inseguros; Normas de
seguridad en el hogar y la escuela; Decir "NO"; Secretos seguros/inseguros. No es culpa del
niño si alguien lo toca. Contárselo a un adulto de confianza. Para obtener más información
