The Dignity for All Students Act (DASA) goes into effect July 1, 2012. All school districts in New York State will need to develop procedures to create an environment free of bullying, harassment and discrimination in order to comply with the new law. How will DASA affect you? Your staff? Your students? Your community? Get the tools you need to make your school DASA compliant, through a 4-hour training taught by experts from the leading nonprofit organization on bully prevention... CAPS.
"Preparing for DASA" will provide you with the tools necessary to support a positive school culture that fosters civility and respect in your school community, and help you understand the role of DASA to ensure it. It will also:
- Prepare you to implement DASA in your school, by defining bullying, harassment and discrimination as it relates to the new law
- Provide best practices for bully prevention in your school including implementing school surveys, effective rubrics for discipline, guidelines for reporting and training of school personnel
- Discuss how school employees can prevent and effectively respond to incidents of bullying, discrimination and harassment
- Examine what’s working and what’s not working in reducing bullying at school
- Test common myths and facts about bullying.
