Building Educators
The "Building Capacity to Prevent Gender-Based Violence – Development and Evaluation of Evidence-Based Tools for Canadian Educators" Study is a collaborative cross-national knowledge mobilization effort funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada. Dr. Craig acts as Principal Investigator for this project, and works with a team of co-investigators from across Canada. This study collects self-report data from the experiences of Canadian teachers and adolescent students, as well as information from previous scientific literature, to better understand educator training needs for understanding and addressing gender-based bullying behaviours in the classroom. The recruitment goals for this study have been reached, and we are no longer looking for participants.
​
Based on the data we have collected, we have created evidence-based tools and resources for Canadian educators to address gender-based violence, identity-based bullying, and promote healthy relationships. These resources include tip sheets, videos and training modules which are now being disseminated to schools and educators across Canada. Through dissemination of the online training modules and conducting pre-post outcome evaluations, we hope to measure the impact of training on educators' knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy and skills.​
