The New York State Education Department (NYSED) Dignity for All Students Act (DASA) requires that candidates applying for certification, including educators with initial certification applying for professional certification, complete 6 hours of coursework or training on harassment, bullying, cyber bullying, and discrimination in schools [Article 2 Sections 10-18 of the Education Law]. This training also addresses microaggressions and social patterns of harassment, bullying, and discrimination. NYSED has temporarily authorized approved trainers to offer this workshop entirely online due to the COVID-19 crisis.
This fully online workshop runs from 2/26 - 3/9. Participants work at their own pace during this window, to complete all tasks and assignments by the course end date (March 9th). The course is composed of 7 modules, each consisting of recorded lectures, videos, readings, and activities. Participants will need access to a computer or device with internet access that will allow them to watch videos, view and complete documents in PDF format, complete Google Forms, and engage in online activities.
