Our students’ world revolves around social media and the internet. Social media conflict can have an adverse impact on the schools’ climate, students’ safety, and conformability. Historically, conflict and/or cyberbullying was seen as a home issue, yet we have seen social media issues filter into the school setting for more than a decade. Schools need to be proactive and provide appropriate prevention and responsive resources. This webinar will offer an overview of typical social media conflicts and cyberbullying issues, discuss the impact of these concerns on school climate, and offer proactive solutions to prevent and respond to social media conflict/cyberbullying.
This training is intended for K-12 and IHE educators, school and campus security personnel, prevention providers, school and campus administration, treatment professionals, counselors, student conduct professionals, prosecutors, residence life staff, and other interested school, campus or community personnel.
Partial In-service Credit (PIC) for law enforcement and school/campus security officers will be available.
There is no fee to attend this webinar. Pre-registration is required. The webinar will be hosted via Zoom.
