Stanfield VideoModeling® / BeCool Series: Middle School 1
Immediate Cool Intervention: Techniques for Immediate, Controlled Responses
| The middle school years can be the most difficult for students as they learn to deal with the challenging situations presented not only by interactions with their peers, but with parents, teachers, and other authority figures. These five modules will help your students “put the brakes on” their emotions and let reason kick in when they are faced with provocative language, behaviors, and requests in everyday interactions. |  |
BeCool Middle School 1 is composed of five modules:
Module 1: Criticism
Criticism is seldom easy to take and often triggers anger and unnecessary conflict. To make matters more difficult, middle school students are soooo sensitive and can feel criticism when none is intended. In this module your students will learn how to respond to valid as well as invalid criticism in a COOL way. They will see how to clarify unclear criticism to obtain more information. Students will also learn how to explain their side if the criticism is unfair. In the first vignette they’ll meet Vanessa, an aspiring chef, who has to deal with criticism from her cooking teacher. After modeling both a HOT and COLD response, we see Vanessa asking for clarification, only to find that although disappointing, the criticism from her teacher was valid. Meet the other middle school students portrayed in this series and learn how they cope with criticism. 23 mins

Module 2: Teasing
The middle school child takes everything personally. Not succumbing to teasing from peers is an essential survival skill for this age. In this module your students will see how not to let teasing get to them. Instead of reacting like a victim (COLD) or blowing up (HOT), your students will learn ways to be cool. They will see ways to maintain their dignity and self-control even when faced with teasing. In the first lesson Tony’s classmates get on him about forgetting to zip up his pants. Public humiliation is by far every middle school student’s worst nightmare. Students will watch Tony quickly extinguish the teasing of friends through the use of BeCool techniques. Each vignette in this series portrays realistic situations featuring middle school-age kids. Students will have fun while they learn! 23 mins

Module 3: Bullying
Using the BeCool 4-Step Plan, your students will learn how to assertively cope with bullying. Whether verbal, physical, or gender based harassment, students must be prepared with some tools and a plan for coping with this very difficult behavior. Bullying is rampant today. Many schools have a zero tolerance policy regarding gender based harassment and other forms of bullying. Unfortunately, ruling it out doesn’t make it go away. In these three vignettes, your students are introduced to three ways to handle bullies. They can be COLD and withdraw, or HOT and blow up, which is almost guaranteed to make matters worse. Instead, students can practice being COOL, assertive, and effective. A variety of COOL responses to bullying are demonstrated, giving students a repertoire of positive and more confident solutions. 32 mins

Module 4: Coping with Anger Others & Self
In these two modules your students will learn how to effectively respond to anger coming from someone else and directed at them (Anger/Others), as well as the anger originating from inside themselves (Anger/Self). As hormones start having their effect in this age group, young people can reach their flash point in no time at all. In these two modules students will see how the withdrawn, passive-aggressive response to anger results in powerlessness; and how the automatic, hothead, aggressive response leads to an out-of-control volatile situation. The scenarios are true to life, easy to relate to, and will definitely give your students food for thought in ongoing discussions. 35 mins
