The (students) users are more mature than when we began teaching in the schools 20 years ago," he noted. Grade 6 students receive eight 40-minute in-class lessons, which includes culminating activities and the B.R.A.V.O. Celebration. The B.R.A.V.O. Encore program consists of two 40-minute lessons for Grade 7 students and two 40minute sessions for Grade 8s, which includes a presentation on the role of the High School Liaison Officer. The Grade 7 and 8 components will be fully implemented next year. "There is a great deal of flexibility in altering the delivery of each lesson in consultation with the teacher," stated a Halton Catholic board report about B.R.A.V.O. "The interesting thing for us, there are seven main lessons. Through research we know those are the most important topics in that age group," said Hill.

"There's a lot more room for discussion of the Internet, social media, bullying and cyberbullying. The parents are thrilled that we are initiating that conversation and it is coming from police," he added. "We are already in the process of making revisions to the program for next year. B.R.A.V.O. could change significantly in the next 3-5 years." Student lessons from a B.R.A.V.O. notebook are worked on in-class to be completed either individually or as a small group. Each activity is designed to be flexible to accommodate individual student learning needs. There also will be an opportunity for students to write what they have learned about after each lesson. A unique feature of the B.R.A.V.O. program is the parental connection as lessons can be taken home for discussion with parents. "So they can initiate the conversation at home. The lesson (list) is sent home at the start of the school year so parents know what's coming up," said Hill. He acknowledged some parents won't want to participate while others are very engaged. "Teachers will pick up on that and encourage (dialogue) where appropriate," he said. School boards supplement the cost of printing program materials; Halton police pays the salaries of the officers delivering the B.R.A.V.O. program, which is just one component of the liaison officer's duties, said Hill.
