Hello - I just joined this discussion group - and have been working on our school's advisory program for the last year or so. We just implemented advisory to the students and staff in late October - in order for everyone to get into the year and through with the NECAP testing before we added one other thing to our plate.

I took a look at the No Name Calling Week information - specifically that provided at nonamecallingweek.org - I downloaded the free lessons provided there and plan to use them throughout the year, not just during no name calling week. The lessons seem like they are worthwhile and are current. When putting together a resource binder for our staff last year, we had a difficult time finding good information on bullying that was relevant to the middle school age group. I wish that we had come across this resource then!

I look forward to participating in this discussion group!
