About This Course
Both boys and girls engage in bullying, and researchers continually examine the role of gender in bullying behavior. While gender can impact how students bully, there are many other influences that impact the behavior of our youth. Kids are overwhelmed with negative and harmful influences that create the “sea of mean” many of them live in day after day. Adults both in and out of school must work together to both intervene in and prevent the “sea of mean” that threatens to tear down any semblance of kindness and decency left among our youth’s culture.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will learn about bullying and harassment, and the influence of cultural norms and gender on both;
- Attendees will gain an understanding of how the development of empathy can be effective in the prevention of bullying;
- Participants will gain an understanding of cyberbullying and its impact;
- Attendees will learn how to create a healthy school culture that works in the prevention of bullying and harassment.
