Awareness and Prevention of School-Based Bullying

Awareness and Prevention of School-Based Bullying is a course created through a collaboration between Chad A. Rose, Associate Professor in the Department of Special Education at the University of Missouri and director of the Mizzou Ed Bully Prevention Lab, and the eMINTS National Center. All 50 states have adopted bully prevention legislation, and a majority of states have mandated that educators be trained to appropriately intervene. Teachers need to understand the mechanisms for reducing bullying and supporting all students.

This course meets the requirements for two hours of mandated bullying education training, and includes information about defining bullying, how to intervene, and state law surrounding bullying.
