Learning Opportunities

Target audience: K-9 Administrators, Educational Assistants, Guidance Counselors, Instructional Leaders, Parents, Pre-service Teachers, Support Staff and Teachers are encouraged to attend.

Students are the eyes and ears in your school. While 90% of bullying takes place with peers present, only 4% choose to report it. Why? What can schools do to mobilize the silent majority in becoming the caring majority?  Dare to Care is celebrating 25 years working with schools across Canada in helping children, parents and educators to recognize the difference between normal conflict and true bullying behavior. Participants of this session will learn about the scope of the problem in Canadian schools, the bystander effect, mean moments vs conflict vs bullying, how to empower students, parents, and staff to speak up, and how to effectively deal with bullying situations using a no-nonsense approach.
