"I used the teacher portion of the video in a teacher training with my staff. The found it helpful and informative. I also use the scenarios with my 8th grade students. It helps them to understand the role of the upstander and peacemakers."

Cheryl Valek, Sixth Grade Teacher
Charles J. Sahs School, Chicago, Il

"After attending the train-the-trainer bullying prevention workshop directed by Dennis Lewis, I provided bullying prevention training to the entire staff in our public school system, which includes eighteen campuses. The DVD was appropriate for each audience, including administrators, educators, bus drivers, food service providers, and janitorial staffs. The program included modern vignettes of bullying scenarios on the elementary, middle school, and high school levels. It also provided preventative steps and solutions to common conflict problems found in most schools. I would highly recommend this informative program for any school system looking to provide effective bullying prevention training for their staff."

Rhonda Smitherman, School Counselor
Calhoun County School, Alexandria, Alabama

"The Trainer series has been a fantastic tool to use during staff development sessions for our building. The case studies, statistics, and layout make for great discussions and examples to use as I pull from the staff's experiences addressing bullying issues and modifying those scenarios based on the training. Our campus is a work in progress and heading in the right directions because of the teaching from Lewis and Brunner."

In consideration of a number of factors, it is our recommendation the video and facilitator’s guide be completely revised.  Some of the information may remain similar, but most of the product will be different. 

The video will be divided into three components: 1) Prevention and Intervention strategies, 2) Cyber-Bullying and Social Media, and 3) Litigation Protection Strategies.  In addition to the three sections, there will be a separate component comprised of problem solving vignettes for elementary, middle, and high school staff and students.
