EDC 660 Bully Prevention in Schools

This course has been designed to address the continuing needs of classroom teachers to create a classroom climate in which all students feel safe. One child in four is bullied at school. One in five admits bullying. Recently, a government report on school shootings showed that the only common trait among shooters was that they all have a long history of being bullied. In schools where fear and anxiety are the norm, students cannot learn and achieve. We believe this new course will be a great benefit to educators looking for solutions to these real issues.
