When Cyberbullying Spills into Schools

Education Week offers the Webinar, When Cyberbullying Spills into Schools, on Thursday, February 23, 2012, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. ET. The session will focus on online conflicts and negative comments that cause problems within classrooms and schools. We hear so much about bullying and cyberbullying these days, and parents and students often expect school administrators to solve the problems created by students outside school. Even when the problems spill over into schools, actions administrators and teachers can take aren’t clearly defined. The Webinar will take on topics such as: should schools be monitoring sites like Facebook, can action be taken against students who misbehave online, when should schools step in, and how can schools create cultures that don’t accept bullying? Leaders of the Webinar will be: Kevin Jennings and Barbara-Jane Paris, both national experts on the problems of bullying and anti-bullying programs.
