Slide 2 Training for Volunteers In Anne Arundel County Public
Schools Slide 3 Thank you ForVolunteering! Slide 4 A hundred years
from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of
house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove...but the world may be
different because I was important in the life of a child. Slide 5
We work together. Safety first. Everyone receives appropriate
training. Slide 6 We all need to know the definitions. Slide 7
Title IX Employees and volunteers are protected Can be hard to
identify Slide 8 Unwanted behavior Unwelcomed behavior Interferes
with students rights Slide 9 Staring at someones body Telling
off-color jokes Making inappropriate gestures Adolescents often try
these behaviors as part of growing up BUT they are still
inappropriate! Slide 10 Is the behavior unwelcome by anyone
involved? Does the behavior make you or any other person feel
uncomfortable? Is the behavior interfering with anyones ability to
participate in the school environment? Would you want this behavior
directed toward a member of your family or toward a friend? Slide
11 You can tell the harasser that the behavior is offensive. You
must report the incident(s). Slide 12 You dont have to be directly
involved. Are there incidents where someone feels uncomfortable
because of the actions of others? Slide 13 Harassment is when one
person uses sexual behavior(s) that intimidate or make someone else
feel uncomfortable. Slide 14 Its serious. You are required to know
about it so you can recognize it. You must report it! Slide 15 Do
you see signs of any of these? Bruises Burns Welts Cuts Abrasions
Fractures And, are there no reasonable explanations for why the
child has these signs? Slide 16 Harder to identify. Child has
trouble functioning in the school environment. Slide 17 NEGLECT
