Cyberbullying
Presentation
Hello
Manzanita Families!
I
wanted to forward some information for an upcoming event addressing
cyberbullying that I think many of you would be interested in.
Next
month Esperero Middle School is hosting a presentation by guest
speaker Dr. Sheri Bauman entitled “The Growing Concern of
Cyberbullying: An Update to Protect Our School Community.”
Cyberbullying
is an all-too common issue already creeping vastly into elementary
schools, that unfortunately is predicted to intensify as students age
and technology becomes even more dominant in their every day
interactions.
I
can speak with firsthand knowledge in saying that Dr. Bauman is the
guru of knowledge surrounding bullying, especially cyberbullying. She
is the lead director of the Counseling & Mental Health program at
the University of Arizona (and my former adviser!), and has worked in
(and outside of) schools with children both as a school counselor and
clinic psychologist. Her research specialty is in bullying, peer
victimization, and teacher responses to bullying. Her list of
national/international conference presentations and publications is
endless- she truly is one of, if not the
most knowledgeable professional in the field today on these topics.
If you are free on the evening of February 5th,
I would highly recommend going to hear her speak on these topics!
Please
see the flyer below if you are interested, want to learn more, or
wish to RSVP.
