Description
Some strategies can be applied intentionally to affect the interpersonal social dynamics in a classroom and lead to such outcomes as a decrease in student victimization, an increase in positive relationships, and an appreciation of diversity. Participants will learn how school psychologists can help teachers harness the power they have to make a positive impact on peer ecology and classroom climate.
