Hazelden and the National Association of Elementary School Principals Foundation (NAESPF), in partnership with Clemson University, present a bullying prevention distance-learning course for school principals

This three-hour course gives up-to-date information about bullying, cyber bullying, and best practices in implementing bullying prevention programming.

The course also addresses the important role that K-12 school administrators (i.e., principals and assistant principals) can play in addressing this issue and provides practical tools and strategies for these leaders.

Employing extensive use of video, interactivity, and case studies to create an engaging experience, this course helps school administrators apply essential knowledge and skills for preventing or responding to bullying.
