Frequently Asked Questions
Is online safety training required by my state's education department?
While online safety training may not be required by your state, many states have adopted laws (like Erin’s Law) that require sexual abuse prevention (body safety) training for students and/or human trafficking education. Revved Up Kids Protected While Connected can be delivered in compliance with these laws.
Will my teachers need to be trained to deliver Protected While Connected?
No. Protected While Connected is a fully turnkey program that does not require teacher facilitation. Students access the lessons via the Nearpod platform and complete the learning activities at their own pace.
We'd like our students to complete the lessons together. Is this possible?
Yes, it is possible for a group of students to complete the lessons together. Students will watch the video portions of the lesson together, and then complete interactive activities on their individual school-issued devices. Our teacher guide offers additional discussion questions to supplement the learning.
What is the cost for Protected While Connected?
As a 501c3 nonprofit focused on mission over money, Revved Up Kids works to deliver its programs as economically as possible. We work with each school to determine cost to deliver. For most schools, the cost will be $1 – $2 per student, not including the optional resource piece (this is a screen cleaning cloth with review tips on it).
Is the program evidence based?
Yes. Hundreds of student pre- and post-tests have been evaluated and the program is scientifically proven to improve participant knowledge.
