If an investigation reveals that an incident is not bullying, coordinators will learn to identify what it is-whether it's a conflict, misunderstanding, false allegation, an incident that didn't occur, or something else.

    Program: Professional Development Unit

    Dates: 12/17/2025

    New
    In The Anxious Generation investigates the nature of childhood, including why children need play and independent exploration to mature into competent, thriving adults. Haidt shows how the "play-based childhood" began to decline in the 1980s, and how it was finally wiped out by the arrival of the "phone-based childhood" in the early 2010s. He presents more than a dozen mechanisms by which this "great rewiring of childhood" has interfered with children's social and neurological development, covering everything from sleep deprivation to attention fragmentation, addiction, loneliness, social contagion, social comparison, and perfectionism. He explains why social media damages girls more than boys and why boys have been withdrawing from the real world into the virtual world, with disastrous consequences for themselves, their families, and their societies. **This will be an ongoing book study that will conclude before the December Holiday break. Meetings will be 1x/month for 15 minutes during PLT time. Exact dates are TBD based on group schedules.
