SCHOOL EDUCATION
“Walking Wise
offers the best tools I’ve
seen for teaching students about sexual exploitation and sextortion—without being scary or lewd.”
Nigel Hunter, DeputySchool Resource OfficerSustainable Education
Many schools invite guest speakers to address sex trafficking with staff, parents, and students. While a presentation can raise important awareness, its impact is often short-lived. Walking Wise offers a sustainable, school-led solution—empowering school safety teams to integrate prevention education into their middle and high school curricula over time.
This ongoing approach helps students build lasting awareness, strengthen critical thinking, and develop the skills to recognize and resist the manipulative tactics commonly used by sexual predators.
Adaptable Curriculum
Our curriculum is designed for flexibility, enabling educators to tailor materials to align with school policies and protocols, age appropriateness, teaching styles, and available class time.
Learning Journey
Meaningful learning takes time. By introducing topics gradually over several years, schools can create steady growth in awareness and understanding. Our three- to five-year teaching plan offers a flexible path for middle and high school students to build knowledge and confidence. Download our Teaching Track.

School Safety Teams
In 2021, the U.S. Department of Education provided guidelines for implementing human trafficking education and suggested empowering a ‘safety team’ to develop and oversee school education as well as policies and response protocols for reporting suspected child trafficking.
Safety teams are recommended to include school social workers, nurses, resource officers, psychologists, counselors, principals, wellness-focused educators, and members of their local anti-human trafficking coalition. With this diverse expertise, these teams are well-equipped to provide staff training, raise awareness among parents, and educate students.
For more information, please review the guidelines written for the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Safe and Supportive Schools, called Human Trafficking in AMERICA’S SCHOOLS.
