Wasatch Back Teaching and Learning Conference 2017

Come visit, hang, and get nerdy about the four questions of managing aggressive behavior with teams from across the state of Utah! 1). What do we expect our faculty and staff to learn in ASPEN? 2). How do we know they are learning ASPEN? 3). How should we respond when they don’t learn? 4). How will respond if they already know ASPEN?
For the first time ever, state ASPEN trainers can visit, dish, and support one another about improving ASPEN trainings and keeping kids safe!

We owe it to our students and parents to go beyond the hallway poster campaigns. When it comes to bullying prevention, there is so much more than “No Bully Zones” and “Walking Away to Tell an Adult.” Too much research exists to ignore the fact that in order to address bullying behavior in school settings, we need to 1). Create a centralized reporting systems, 2). Provide parent/community outreach, and 3). Teach coping and resiliency skills to students. Bullyology accomplishes all of the above. Come and learn about how to implement Bpllyology in your school/district today!
