"Highly recommended. Energetic host Keith Deltano takes a spirited approach to handling bullying in this three-part lecture informational series. In the first volume, Bully Proof Your Classroom, Strategies for Teachers, Deltano-who modestly describes himself as a "cross between Mother Teresa and Arnold Schwarzenegger," uses onscreen text to illustrate points as he shares personal stories from his years of experience as a middle school teacher. Topics covered include favoritism, loving the kids who may be outcasts ("I don't know what it is about Star Wars and social awkwardness, but they seem to go together"), breaking up social hierarchies, using Socratic techniques with pushy parents, and making an example of the bully (well-publicized punishment as a strong deterrent). Includes tips for being proactive about bullying online (a very helpful primer) and Bully Proof Your Teen: Strategies for Parents and Anti-Bullying Scenarios: Play-By-Play, this series is highly recommended." -Video Librarian, 2016 / "This is one of the most impactful anti bullying programs that we have conducted. Mr. Deltano was very entertaining yet provided an important message on how to respond to bullying and also how to treat others well. Students' retention of his strategies was high and his message to the parents was equally well received. It was energizing and reinforcing to our positive school culture." - Scott Schiller, Principal, Southside Elementary School, Powell WY. "Keith's anti bullying assembly hit the perfect tone for out middle schoolers. The right blend of humor and serious truth. Great program." - Catherine Hollinger, Principal, Readington Middle School, Whitehouse Station, NJ
