Description
Even with national attention on preventing bullying, incidents continue. Gifted students are especially vulnerable to bullying because their intellects make them stand out in classroom and social settings, and they are not immune to becoming bullies themselves. This session centers on Zero Indifference, an approach that empowers teachers and students to intervene before conduct escalates into bullying. It provides intervention techniques to address conduct both in and outside the classroom, including cyberspace. Using tested scenarios, participants learn to recognize and confront mild and extreme situations and leave with training materials to help them successfully implement these strategies.
