Cyberbullying Event
Hello Ventana Vista Families!
I wanted to forward some information for
an upcoming event addressing cyberbullying that I think many of you would be
interested in. Next month Esperero Middle School is hosting a
presentation by guest speaker Dr. Sheri Bauman entitled “The Growing Concern of
Cyberbullying: An Update to Protect Our School Community.” Cyberbullying is an all-too common issue already creeping
vastly into elementary schools, that unfortunately is predicted to intensify as
students age and technology becomes even more dominant in their everyday interactions.
I can speak with firsthand knowledge in
saying that Dr. Bauman is the guru
of knowledge surrounding bullying, especially cyberbullying. She is the lead
director of the Counseling & Mental Health program at the University of
Arizona (and my former adviser!), and has worked in (and outside of) schools
with children both as a school counselor and clinic psychologist. Her research
specialty is in bullying, peer victimization, and teacher responses to
bullying. Her list of national/international conference presentations and
publications is endless- she truly is one of, if not the most knowledgeable professional in the field today on these
topics. If you are free on the evening of February 5th, I would
highly recommend going to hear her speak on these topics!
Please see the flyer below if you are interested, want to learn
more, or wish to RSVP.
