Christa McAuliffe Technology Conference

Administrators are in the unenviable role of having to make very difficult disciplinary and policy decisions as it relates to peer harassment - both offline and online. Furthermore, they are responsible to exercise due diligence in their prevention programming, or else come under scrutiny for possible liability claims. This workshop focuses on equipping school leadership with the knowledge they need to act through exercises based on real-world examples and research-based best practices that continue to evolve. Join Dr. Sameer Hinduja for this hands-on workshop and learn to: - understand the responsibilities of schools that use technology to meet educational needs - consider multiple lower, appellate, and Supreme Court cases that provide precedent and guidance in this area - determine how policy should be structured and whether to move towards a prohibitive or permission atmosphere regarding devices - apply the Response to Intervention Model to the school's current structure and environment - assess the existing state of your school climate and identify what can be done to improve it (Presenter(s): Sameer Hinduja, CoDirector - Cyberbullying Research Center)
