Summary:

Willard, a teacher who has a law degree and has worked with computer technology companies, helps educators, mental health professionals, and law enforcement officers implement instructional activities that address issues of safety and civility with intermediate, middle, and high school students. Her approach focuses on positive social norms, effective practices and problem solving, collection of local data to guide instruction and support evaluation, and positive engagement of witnesses, emphasizing all digital technologies. She describes how professionals can collaborate with others, implement initiatives, and engage and empower youth to help them stay safe, present a positive image, respect others, and take responsibility for the well-being of others. She addresses the heightened concern over technology and avoiding messages based on this panic, prevention and intervention for youth that are at higher risk, ways to provide parental guidance, and instructional objectives and safety guidelines.
