Teacher's Institute 7/19/2022 by Learning Services

Students who were being bullied and excluded before the Covid-crisis may be struggling even more now. Then, there’s the bully.  Bullying is almost always a cry for help, and those cries may be louder in the wake of Covid-related anxieties at home. Parents are also more on edge than ever and taking out a lot of their fear and frustrations on the school.

Whether you’re dealing with student bullying or a bullying parent, understanding how to intervene effectively has never been more vital than it is now.  In this engaging institute day, New York Times bestselling author and anti-bullying expert Jodee Blanco will offer specific intervention strategies for dealing with student bullying and the bullying parent.
