Creating Caring Communities proudly presents the fifth annual Bully-Proofing Your School Training for Trainers (TFT) Certification Program, June 16-19, 2008 in Centennial, Colorado.

Designed to facilitate the availability of quality Bully-Proofing Your School training across the country, the certification program trains qualified applicants as District Trainers, endorsed by CCC to conduct unlimited trainings within their own school district as salaried district employees. is by far the most cost-effective way for a school, district or educational cooperative to implement Bully-Proofing Your School and sustain it over time. Training is available for elementary, middle and high school levels.

We recommend that each participating district sponsor a team of at least two trainees to assure program sustainability. Certified District Trainers receive all necessary training materials and access to ongoing support from Creating Caring Communities.

The 2008 certification course will be taught by the foremost Bully-Proofing Your School trainers and researchers in the nation, including: Marla Bonds, Psy.D.; Lisa Cech, M.A.; Callan Clark, M.A., NCSP; Larry Epstein, Ph.D.; Kathleen Keelan, MA; Amy Plog, Ph.D.; and Sally Stoker, MSW.

What you will learn during the program:

	Step-by-step training in implementation of the Bully-Proofing Your School workshop, including our PowerPoint presentation, handout packet and supplemental resources;
	Advanced coaching in presentation techniques, including practice presentations with feedback and critiques from both presenters and co-trainees;
