In an everyday changing environment, it is vital for schools to be able to identify violent behavior among students in a prior stage in order to implement prevention strategies that affect the entire community. Teachers are often in a sticky position when it comes to school violence, a fact that puts them at risk for much of the same abuse as children in their schools,but also assigns them the role of protector for a good part of each day. While school violence is everyone’s problem, teachers are in a valuable position when it comes to spotting signs of a problem long before it escalates. They are also relied on by parents to help them get through the children when they are at a loss and feel as if they have tried everything else.

With the tools provided on this seminar,educators will be ready to deal with them and do their part in combating school violence from the unique and powerful position that they are in.
