Dimensions Learning
promoting sexual health and preventing sexual violence
Dimensions is a comprehensive, innovative sexual assault and sexual education program for college and university students.
Our program consists of sixteen highly engaging videos, each of which is paired with lesson plans and activities that go beyond the facts to address the root causes of sexual violence.
The program is driven by the belief that to reduce campus sexual assault, students need an educational program that is relatable, useful, and transformative.
Going beyond simple facts helps us explore the attitudes, ideas, and perspectives that lead to sexual violence.
Dimensions interweaves topical information about sexual violence with nuanced discussions about healthy sexuality and positive relationships. .
Our lesson plans are dynamic and rich. No two are the same, and all feature discussion topics that drive deep conversation and understanding.
We also provide significant support for facilitators, including training, manuals, and scripts to ensure success.
Our programmatic approach is far-reaching, inclusive of diverse identities and experiences, and addresses many of the awkward and difficult parts of talking about sex and sexuality with frankness and practical resources for young adults.
We know more needs to be said and done to end sexual assault and sexual violence both on campuses and in society. One way Dimensions expands the conversation with students nationwide is through characters with a broad, diverse range of identities so students encounter characters they can relate to.
Our flexible program allows you to:
Create a one-of-a-kind course tailored to your school's unique needs
Deliver cutting-edge content developed with leading subject-matter experts and experienced educators
Address deep, complex issues on your own timeline and your own terms
Reach your diverse student population with material that speaks to them personally and emotionally
Dimensions has a diverse network of student advisors on multiple college & university campuses who provide input on our content.
Our student advisors come from different domains of campus life, including the Greek system, LGBTQ communities, athletics, faith communities, and communities of color.
Dimensions works with faculty and graduate students in gender studies and communications to ground our program in cutting-edge theory and practice.
Dimensions conducted university-sanctioned research as part of our content development.
What do students think when they go through our program? Hear directly from them in anonymous feedback.
Our content helps facilitators succeed. Our lesson plans offer instructions on what to say, when to say it, and what to do when things don't go according to plan.
Our lesson plans provide everything from scripted instructions to comprehensive handouts, links, and collateral materials.
Our team of educators knows what works. We have decades of experience, have taught thousands of students, and have mentored dozens of other educators.
We know that your community is unique. With your specific population and the issues and challenges your campus faces, content that's one-size-fits-all just doesn't work.
Do you want a comprehensive, quarter-long course that works with all sixteen of our videos and covers a range of topics? We've got that. Only have an hour to deliver the essential information for Title IX compliance? We've got you covered there too, and you won't have to buy more than what you need.
Our videos and lesson plans can be assembled into a broad range of courses. We're here to help if you want to design your own menu of options. If one of our prepared offerings works for you, you'll get what you need, delivered digitally and ready to be delivered right away.
While our videos have interweaving storylines, they can each be viewed on their own and with the lesson plans that accompany them without losing anything.
We see diversity as a priority both in our video content and in the lesson plans we offer.
Whether it's race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or ability, we aim to have all students see themselves in our videos. Our filmed content features a diverse cast of characters played by actors from varying backgrounds and with a range of identities.
Our lesson plans address gender, sexuality, and relationship status from a neutral perspective, acknowledging difference without singling anyone out.
Sexual health promotion and sexual assault prevention sometimes requires a deeper look into the issues and challenges facing specific constituencies. Our content development plans include follow-on courses aimed to address some of these distinct groups in ways that genuinely speak to those communities and the schools that serve them.
Our lesson plans are not traditional stand-and-deliver, instructor-centered material. We keep the focus on the content and the students.
In our lessons, students will change activities frequently, work with each other in constantly varying groups, engage in structured discussion, and use experiential learning to lock in long-term learning and behavior change.
Our team of educators know how to keep groups of varying size active, moving, and talking. Our lesson plans help your facilitators do that, whether you have 15 or 500 students in the room.
