Dr. Englander was very knowledgeable about the topic, with clear recommendations for addressing the issues and data to back things up. She presented in a very compelling way, and was well organized. I left feeling as if I have a much better grasp of the complexities of bullying and tools with which to address them.
I thought Elizabeth's presentation of research was excellent as well as her no-nonsense approach to sorting out what is bullying and what is not.
I was engaged and interested the whole time and will be able to bring lots of this back to the work I do. I especially thought the to-dos and takeaways were helpful.
