School is supposed to be a safe haven in which children are educated and nurtured. But how can a child develop their mind and spirit if their feelings of safety, well being and security is being threatened?
The “Eye for an Eye” workshop will examine, create awareness of and provide skills to combat bullying behavior. Participants will learn:

  • The root causes and telltale signs of bullying behavior.

  • How to intervene with the bully and to empower the target who is being bullied.
  • How to coordinate with teachers, staff and parents to prevent and respond to bullying behavior; and

  • How to teach individual children and entire classes to be aware of and responsive to bullying.
  • The class will encompass instruction periods, role play, film clips and discussion.

    The Continuing Education Program of the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences is pleased to bring you 33 workshops for the Fall 2007 Series. We believe these workshops that have been planned will prepare you for meeting the multiple needs of the individual, organizational and community clients that you are serving. We welcome your suggestions for future workshop topics or presenters that you would like to see us feature in future continuing education workshops, and thank you for your continued support of the program.
