Stewards of Children

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and many of you may be interested in Stewards of Children. This is a prevention training program that teaches adults how to prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. The program is designed for organizations that serve youth and individuals concerned about the safety of children. It is the only nationally distributed, evidence-based program proven to increase knowledge, improve attitudes, and change child protective behaviors.

 

Congratulations to . . .

National selection was based on teaching excellence, leadership, and advocacy. Marshall will travel to Brazil in June as part of a global collaborative effort to seek solutions for world-wide 21^st Century challenges. Her focus will be on literacy with the topic “Successful Reading Interventions for Children of Poverty.”
