Elizabeth is such a wonderful instructor and this class was very helpful in terms of how to handle bullying in schools both in prevention as well as dealing with it after it happens. I will be taking that Teaching Tolerance resource about how to talk to a bully with me not only for school but also in my personal life. That was just a huge "aha" that you might handle those adult peer conversation about tough topics in a similar way when they start to get heated. I also will be using the three E's in my day to day practice. I think it's a great reminder of the steps to take when a situation turns negative. I think it can be used outside of bullying as well when we're having a conversation about any kind of incidence. I feel like I have really filled my toolbox with more ideas for how to help students manage these situations.

I just want to thank you Elizabeth for facilitating this course on bullying. I wish something like this was a mandatory course for all teachers. I learned so much through this course and know that my classroom will be a safer place because of it but I wish every classroom would be that way. Thank you for an awesome course!

I really want to commend CoPilot for organizing a very high quality class. This class really made me stop and think about what I am doing and what I can do differently to help my students who are being bullied.
