Teacher video: consent and boundaries

This SEL video helps learners understand consent and personal boundaries and why they are important for respectful relationships. It explains that consent means giving or getting permission and should be communicated clearly by asking and listening to the response. They learn that answers can be yes or no and that both must be respected.

It explores different ways people may show discomfort, including spoken words and body language, and explains that these signals should always be listened to. It introduces the idea of personal space as an invisible boundary that only agreed interactions can cross. Students are reminded that they are in charge of their own bodies and that consent can change at any time. The video supports the development of empathy, communication and respect within the classroom community.
