This is the first and most dynamic conference of its type. The goal is to bring together teachers, counselors, administrators and School Resource Officers who are "in the trenches" everyday. There will be no theory or academic philosophy. Professionals will discuss actual experiences in dealing with violent students and situations. This is a time to gain practical hands-on knowledge that can be applied in your school immediately. Costs have been kept to a minimum so that your school can afford to send you. In fact, they cannot afford not to send you. Sign up today as space is limited.
