Teaching is the profession that teaches all the other professions. ~ Author Unknown

My goal is to reveal one teacher's humble journey of self-reflection, critical analysis, and endless questioning about my craft of teaching and learning alongside my middle school students.

"The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called 'truth'." ~ Dan Rather

Girls are now more likely than boys, according to recent research, to report being bullied in schools. Other studies have shown that girls are often more adept than boys in using other forms of destructive relational aggression — including exclusion, isolation, rumoring, gossiping, sarcasm, pitting friends against one another, and revealing or altering personal secrets. Texting, Facebook, Twitter and other forms of social networking can further enable and boost these kinds of emotional violence between young people.
Aggressors need insightful interventions that will teach them more appropriate ways to become empowered. Without help, girls who are targets often suffer lasting effects — including academic withdrawal, social withdrawal, depression, substance abuse, risky sexual behavior, delinquency, crime, dysfunctional relationships and even suicide. Unfortunately the target herself all too often becomes a bully. Newly updated for the 2012-2013 school year, this one-day seminar offers fresh perspectives and practical strategies for helping relationally aggressive girls and their targets, while also enabling bystanders to become interveners and defenders.
