three workshops for educators; and a website with resources
for parents, students and educators at
www.preventingbullying.org.
Lisa Pescara-Kovach, Ed.D, a professor of educational
psychology at the University of Toledo and a
nationally-recognized anti-bullying authority, will moderate
the January 30 Town Hall. She is the author of
School Shootings and Suicides: Why We
Must Stop the Bullies.
Panelists on the live Town Hall will include young adults
who have experienced bullying, or witnessed bullying
incidents.
In addition to being broadcast live on WGTE TV, the Town
Hall will be streamed live at
www.wgte.org. During the Town Hall, viewers will be able
to email or call in questions and comments for the panel.
