| Suanne Maurer-Starks, Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY and Shannon Whalen, Adelphi University, Garden City, NY Sexual harassment has become an issue of increasing relevance in the public schools. However, despite the increasing awareness of the problem, educators have been at a loss as to how to prevent sexual harassment among youth. This interactive session will utilize PowerPoint, handouts, small group and large group discussion and role plays to identify sexual harassment behaviors among youth and how those behaviors can be addressed through education. Participants will leave the session with the knowledge and skills to implement sexual harassment prevention activities into their intermediate and secondary classes. Handouts and lessons will be given. | ||
