This workshop will explore behaviors that constitute bullying and behaviors that are not considered bullying. We will examine the law and the required components of the mandated Bullying Prevention and Intervention Plan (BPIP) and what steps DESE's Problem Resolution Staff will initiate if they receive a "letter of concern" about an alleged bullying case.  Several case studies will be examined along with the latest research. 
 Educators will share how to reduce the incidences of bullying, and what to do when bullying and/or social conflicts occur. The tenants of a social-behavior diversionary program will be discussed, and how to immediately set-up a diversionary program in your school. Sign Up Here
