Changing Perspectives SEL Parent Night with Sam Drazin
Free Anti-Bullying Presentation with speaker, Keith Deltano
Keith’s virtual school shows will change school culture when combined with his curriculum to create a school wide anti bullying campaign. He has performed anti bullying assemblies for high schools, middle schools and elementary schools throughout the nation. He is more than an anti bullying speaker – he is a lifelong educator. Keith uses serious comedy to engage students, teachers, and parents during his school assemblies, teacher workshops, and parent outreach events. His experience as an award winning teacher and parent coach have turned him into one of the nation’s most requested anti bullying speakers. Keith addresses cyberbullying, physical bullying, racism, exclusion, verbal bullying, gossip, and the mean girl phenomenon. When working with older students he addresses heavier topics like cutting, teen suicide, teen depression, and the importance of seeking help for self-harming behaviors.
