An Introduction to Bullying Prevention for Maryland Educators-November 2025 Cohort

An Introduction to Bullying Prevention for Maryland Educators-November 2025 Cohort

Dear Maryland Educator,

One of the best ways to support bullying prevention as a caring adult in your school/LEA is to learn more about bullying; what it looks like, how to prevent it, how to respond, and how to support students.

Research has shown that the training of school and central office staff is an essential element of any successful bullying prevention effort and when teachers and staff are trained to identify, prevent and respond to bullying behaviors, it can lead to a reduction of bullying allegations among students.

A great way to support students is to sign-up for the Maryland State Department of Education's course, An Introduction to Bullying Prevention for Maryland Educators.

Over 4,500 Maryland educators have taken the course over the past two years and registration for the November-2025 cohort is now open:

Here is the registration link: https://forms.gle/8YPoEkPtUvAtD2mj8

Each participant who completes the course will receive 2 Hours of Professional Development Points in the content or pedagogy aligned with their educator license.
