Department of Public Instruction\u2019s Convention: Building the Heart of Successful Schools<\/strong><\/p>\n December 7-8, 2017 James Dean, GAB Executive Director, talked with administrators, counselors and teachers during the DPI\u2019s convention at the Radisson Paper Valley Hotel in downtown Appleton, WI. About 350 attendees heard presentations concerning \u201cBuilding the Heart of Successful Schools\u201d and viewed the GAB information booth. James discussed how difficult the bullying problem is for schools to handle. He emphasized how the GAB Peer Ambassador Upstander Program in schools can offer a positive, successful solution by putting the power to stop bullying into the hands of the students where the bullying is occurring. <\/p>\n If a student becomes and upstander in a non-threatening way the bullying will stop within 10 seconds 85% of the time. By empowering students, they can change their culture of learning and have a positive impact on detentions, suspensions, absenteeism, tardiness, drug abuse, and suicide in their schools.<\/p>\n Thank you for everyone who visited our booth.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image _builder_version=”3.0.92″ show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” force_fullwidth=”off” show_bottom_space=”on” src=”http:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/74ABAED2-1B6A-4239-8A8E-1B2DD32764C7-e1513305047291.jpg” \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image _builder_version=”3.0.90″ show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” force_fullwidth=”off” show_bottom_space=”on” src=”http:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/74ABAED2-1B6A-4239-8A8E-1B2DD32764C7-e1513305047291.jpg” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image _builder_version=”3.0.90″ show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” force_fullwidth=”off” show_bottom_space=”on” src=”http:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/C6BFF591-9409-42BE-8E7F-A7A95035FB06-e1513305118980.jpg” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" James Dean, GAB Executive Director, talked with administrators, counselors and teachers during the DPI\u2019s convention at the Radisson Paper Valley Hotel in downtown Appleton, WI…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":34764,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2,49,50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34762","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-events","category-previous-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34762","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/39"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34762"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34762\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34764"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gabnow.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
