Bullying in school is not harmless and inevitable nor is bullying just a part of growing up. Bullying can have severe and long-term consequences. Also, as technology becomes more widespread, traditional “school-yard” bullying is moving into the cyber world. Cyber-bullying now makes it even harder, if not impossible, for the victim to escape the reach of the bully. What is this doing to kids? And, what do we do about cyber-bullying that did not occur during school hours? We will look at these questions and many more as a part of this training. The target audience is Principals, Assistant Principals, DPPs, Guidance Counselors, FRYSC Coordinators, Teachers, School Resource Officers, and Safe Schools Coordinators. 3 EILA hours will be offered.

This presentation will encompass the speaker’s knowledge of several occult groups, specifically: Satanism, Witchcraft, Goth Culture, Vampirism, the Afro-Caribbean religions and the crimes associated with each of them. While differences exist among these groups, it is the common denominators of homicide, suicide, self mutilation, grave robbery, animal abuse, blood/death metal music and fantasy role playing games that bind the more bizarre practitioners together. Examples of each of these, case studies, and video interviews will be presented. The history of the occult will be explored as well as the categories of the generational, religious, self-styled, and the teenage dabbler.

KASA has provided the initial Certified Evaluation Training for administrators newly assigned the role of evaluator of certified personnel as required by KRS 156.557. Under the guidance of the Kentucky Department of Education, we have made every effort to make this training meaningful and effective for promoting the evaluation process as a vehicle to positively impact teacher effectiveness and student learning. Each year through feedback provided by current participants, a specially selected group of educators and KDE staff, we refine and update the training to reflect current research-based best practices and the most recent legislation that impacts the process.
