BRIGHT SPOT
A Specialized Dual Student &
Educator Development Program
Inspired by our award-winning short film Dismissal Time, we want to provide awareness of my new program Bright Spot which is designed to highlight the issues surrounding student victimization, school administrator accountability and the tools needed to create a stronger learning experience.
In the past year, the rate of nonfatal victimization in high schools was 15 victimizations per 1000 students.
Nonfatal victimization among students can oftentimes involve hazing; physical and psychological bullying; cyberbullying; racial intolerance; and spreading false accusations.
Regarding the latter, I used to be one of those students. In my freshman year at a private school in my hometown, I was the victim of a false accusation that involved physical threats against my fellow classmates.
Bright Spot is dedicated to reestablishing a healthy trust between educators and students.
Its primary objective is twofold: For students to find the courage to trust their teachers when they face victimization. Additionally, for teachers to see their students as more than just a name on an attendance sheet.
