A great video that clearly distinguished between flirting and sexual harassment. My students, all of whom have learning disabilities, were able to remain engaged and focused for the entire video. It was clear, to the point, and not preachy. I highly recommend it.
Diverse characters. Social interactions examples are GREAT!
Best I've seen on this topic for younger (middle school) viewers. No explicit/graphic language or content.
