Who Should Attend
This full-day event is intended for members of trained BPCCs (Bullying Prevention Coordinating Committees) and other school personnel who are actively involved in implementing the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program (OBPP) in K-12 school buildings through the HALT! or PA CARES programs. Schools must participate in one of these programs to attend the workshop.

Event Synopsis
BPCC workshops provide attendees the opportunity to network with other school teams implementing the OBPP in their school buildings. Presentations will highlight best practices and creative strategies for implementation of the OBPP, as well as bullying prevention in general.

Topics were determined based on feedback from participants of last year’s events and may include:

  • Classroom meetings for special needs students
  • Using the new school safety reporting system
  • Applying parent feedback to bullying prevention efforts
  • Supervision of hot spots
  • Depression in students, secondary to bullying
  • Cyber bullying

Objectives

  • Identify best practices in implementation of the OBPP.
  • Build knowledge and skills helpful in sustaining bullying prevention efforts.
  • Network with other schools who are implementing OBPP.

What to Bring
Please bring an example of a “best practice” or “creative idea” that has proven successful in reaching out to or involving parents in your bullying prevention efforts. Plan on sharing your practice or idea in a 3-5 minute informal explanation to the group. You are welcome to bring a printed description, but it is not required.
