Recognizing Grooming in Schools (1 Hour)
Grooming is not a single event. It is a deliberate pattern of behaviors designed to gain a student's trust, create secrecy, and gradually violate healthy boundaries. Educators are uniquely positioned to recognize these warning signs before abuse occurs.
This one clock hour course helps teachers identify the stages of grooming, understand how offenders manipulate students both in person and online, recognize why grooming itself causes harm, and understand their responsibilities as mandated reporters. Participants will also explore practical strategies for creating transparent learning environments that protect students while safeguarding educators through healthy professional boundaries.
