Say Something! Encouraging Students to Take a Stand Against Bullying October 26, 2010 Tuesday • 9 a.m. - Noon Location: Conference Room C • Cooperating School Districts • 1460 Craig Road • 63146 Directions to Cooperating School Districts Presenters: Carol North, Artistic Director, and Emily Kohring, Education Director of Metro Theater Company Description: How can students shift from the role of a bystander to the role of ally when they witness bullying or harassment at school? Metro Theater Company’s innovative, theater-based anti-bullying program has received accolades from schools throughout the region. In this workshop for elementary and middle school classroom teachers, Metro Theater Company teaching artists will demonstrate simple drama and movement activities that help students build classroom community, recognize the roles people tend to play when bullying occurs, and, through improvisation, strategize safe and effective ways that students can come to the aid of a victim of intolerant behavior. No prior drama experience is required! The instructional strategies offered in this workshop correlate with the anti-bullying picture book, Say Something by Peggy Moss. Fees
