CATEGORY 4 SCHOOLS

Pricing is based on the total number of students in your secondary school, not the number of students who will receive the lessons. This is to keep pricing as fair as possible for all schools. Regardless of which package you choose from full curriculum to cyber safety & digital wellbeing, you would first work out which category your school is to determine which pricing level applies to you. 

HPE staff can sign up for the trial pass which gives 48 hour access to one lesson from each year level. This will allow them to play with the platform and see how things work. https://respectcollective.com.au/subscription/trial-subscription-no-credit-card-required 

Other curriculums and lesson plans provide you with information and an outline of what you will need to teach, requiring a lot of time and energy to prepare. At Respect Collective we have done all that preparation for you, creating plug and play lessons with on screen guidance, a digital educator bringing content knowledge, and in-built resources, answers, and activities. You just need to press play. We also provide a hub where you can interact with other educators, the Respect Collective team, and receive support and guidance from qualified sexuality educators that want you to succeed. 

The Respect Collective Curriculum is designed to be accessed by teachers only. The teacher simply puts the plug and play lesson up on the screen/smartboard and facilitates the activities as they move through the slides. An important part of RSE is students learning to communicate and practice skills with their peers. Once your school has purchased a subscription they will be provided with educator licences that they allocate to the teachers who will be delivering the curriculum. It is completely up to the school who these RSE champions will be. 

At this stage there are no self directed student modules. 

Not a problem. Just reach out the to the team at info+sales@respectcollective.com.au for support. 

We provide a parent information webinar which you can send out at the beginning of the program and we encourage you to hear parents fears and let them know that the program is evidence based. We also provide a parent letter/explainer which you can send out directly and a webpage specifically for parents with some extra information and resources https://respectcollective.com.au/topics

In Australia, Respectful Relationships and Consent Education are now mandated by the federal government. That doesn't mean that people fully understand what it's all about, and this uncertainty can often lead to fear or resistance. Most parents and caregivers do support the delivery of RSE (you can read some great research here) and when we invite them on the journey with us they are much more likely to support it.  The design of the lessons also provides plenty of opportunities for you to integrate your school and communities values. 

This is entirely up to you. We don't recommend skipping lessons, however the order you deliver them in can be decided by you and your students at the start of the program or as you go along. Some lessons will have prerequisites which are clearly identified in the lesson information. A couple of lessons are also marked as 'advanced' topics and are better suited to delivery later in your program once you and your learners are comfortable in RSE sessions. 

Most of the flexibility comes from how the teacher leads the activities and the conversations that naturally evolve from students. For example, a teacher might ask how the school's values align with the framework presented, or how faith and morals fit in with decision making. A teacher could also skip slides although we don't recommend it. They could deliver parts of a lesson if they felt that was all students needed at that time. The content itself is not editable, however at Respect Collective we are open to conversations around more effectively meeting school's needs. 

The digital educator can't be turned off, however there is nothing to stop the teacher muting or skipping this slide. We wouldn't recommend this as the digital educator serves an important role in both scene setting and reinforcement. One aspect of trauma informed RSE is making sure students are aware of what is about to be discussed and what the lesson entails. The digital educator provides this information. They are also a 'fail safe', so if the teacher misses or misinterprets any important messaging during delivery the final video ensures that the learning intentions and key messages are conveyed and reinforced. 

Students love asking questions. Sometimes they can be difficult to answer and it's normal to struggle. The best thing you can do if you're not sure how to answer is acknowledge what a great question it was, that you want to make sure you have all the information before you answer it, and you will get back to them with an answer in the next lesson. Then login to the Respect Collective hub and click 'Ask Instructor' or post in the community to see how other high school educators have handled something similar.
