Randolph, NJ, (March 8, 2011) – Bullying is one of the most important issues facing our families, schools, communities and society today, yet most educators have never taken a class or a course regarding this serious issue. As a response to this need, The Regional Training Center has implemented a three-credit graduate course entitled The Bully Proof Classroom designed by James Burns, Paul McEnerney and James Gilbert. The first session will be offered in Mahwah, NJ starting April 29, with two offerings this summer: One in Saddle brook/Paramus, NJ (June 27-July1) and another in Edison, NJ (July 13,14,15,21,22).
This course will help educators better understand the issue of bullying and develop strategies for addressing bullying in their schools. The Bully Proof Classroom is based on the premise that an educator's primary professional duty is to help students learn and that frightened students who feel that they are in an unsafe classroom environment cannot reach their potential as learners.
Furthermore, this course emphasizes the inclusion of socialization curriculum, which becomes part of the general school curricula and continues year to year. Through this course, teachers will gain an understanding of the basic knowledge pertaining to bullying. Participants will engage in hands-on, experiential activities that will help them gain a better awareness of bullying behavior, the reaction of the victim, the responsibility of bystanders, and how to create a bully proof assurance in their classrooms and schools.
