    When students of today are asked to research something, a few things might happen, sometimes simultaneously: Students will struggle to choose their own research topic and browse for ideas. Students take a stance before researching and get frustrated when sources don't fit their argument. Out of desperation, students rely on less credible sources Students are reluctant to go beyond Google and become overwhelmed by information choices and quantities. Students find it difficult to find the right words when searching for information online. Students aren't aware of the need to search again and again, refining their searches as they discover new questions and synthesize new information. Most likely, your student will give up and choose a different topic. This course will help both you and your students navigate the many credible databases that exist, learn search terms, feel confident in research, and eliminate the #fakenews and plagiarism that students so often fall victim to when the research process becomes overwhelming or hits a dead end.

    Bullies have always existed, so why is it important to address cyberbullying? In a nutshell, it can be extremely detrimental to the victim's physical and mental health and, in some cases, possibly deadly. Since cyberbullying allows the anonymity of bullying from a distance, it can also be easily hidden from parents, friends and school administrators and adds an almost invisible dimension to the traditional face-to-face bullying that can be hard to detect and address. A primary goal of this course requires that teachers will learn various techniques that they can implement upon return to their classrooms. Additionally, teachers will reflect on what they are learning and propose a way to integrate cyberbullying content into the classroom curriculum. This course is appropriate for all K-12 school professionals.

    Program: Curriculum & Instruction: Online Learning

    Dates: 10/10/2024 to 1/10/2025

    Location: Virtual

    Starting Today
    Restorative justice is a theory of justice that focuses on mediation and agreement rather than punishment. Offenders must accept responsibility for harm and make restitution with victims. Teachers who use restorative discipline practices find that behavior in their classroom improves dramatically. They have better relationships with their students and, therefore, less stress from unresolved conflicts. For the growing number of districts using restorative justice, the programs have helped strengthen campus communities, prevent bullying, and reduce student conflicts. And the benefits are clear: early-adopting districts have seen drastic reductions in suspension and expulsion rates, and students say they are happier and feel safer. This course is appropriate for all K-12 school professionals.
