The Problem

Agressive, rude and bullying students, faculty, staff and parents destroy the learning environment and waste monetary resources and time.

How do you deal with a belligerent student who has learned financial aid was cancelled, and there isn’t any way to help him get it back? What should a teacher do when one student dominates class discussions, consistently argues about grades, and seeks only to make the class uncomfortable for everyone? How do you handle a teacher that bullies parents or other teachers?

The Solution

Civility Partners is a full service consulting and training firm that focuses on developing systemic solutions for building positive workplaces.
