I attended a workshop presented by CCCSC, their keynote speaker was Barbara Coloroso. Barbara Coloroso is the author of the international bestseller Kids Are Worth It! She is an internationally recognized speaker on parenting, teaching, positive school climate, nonviolent conflict resolution and grieving. She was phenomenal!!! If ever you have the chance to listen to her speak…do it!! She’s humourous, witty and knowledgeable. I couldn’t agree more with her philosophy about needing to teach kids on how to think and not what to think. We need to give our students/kids choices in life for them to learn how to make decisions.
At the conference, I purchased her book on bullying, something I fear dealing with in the schools. I need to grasp how to better manage the bully, the bullied and the bystander in the schools. I believe this book will help me reach my goal. The book is called 'The Bully, the Bullied and the Bystander'.

Hey Pam,
I must say, I am jealous. I first heard about Barabara when I began teaching in Montessori. My princial spoke so highly of her and I have the book "Kids are Worth It." I do agree that she is quite wise, and her points are very valid. How did you get the opportunity to see her? Let me know, thanks Pam, and best of luck in your Block II.
