She is excited about the opportunity to share this anti-bullying message with students, teachers and parents.

Beginning her educational career in Oshkosh, WI, in 1989, Erin Dale first worked with third grade students in a low income area  school. There Erin began learning how to instill in students, teachers, and parents the importance of tolerance and kindness towards others through meaningful conversations.  Erin and her colleagues began to hold weekly classroom meetings wherein every child had a voice, conflicts were discussed, and solutions brought to the forefront.  Students were empowered by their own sense of belonging and purpose. In 1996 Erin began teaching 6th grade in Selby, SD where she continued these weekly group meetings with her students. Building these communities made a big difference as it instilled a sense of worth and belonging in the lives of many of her students.  Erin continues to promote these crucial character traits through her bullying sessions. Her most recent work focuses on teaching area teachers sound research-based literacy strategies. Her favorite part is that she gets to teach in the classroom with the teacher and the students. Erin is thrilled to be able  to share her expertise in the area of bullying with our area youth.

I am a catalyst for creative engagement and collaborative learning. Additionally, I am an experienced graphic designer, website designer, author and technology consultant.

Bear in mind, I am not a geek/techie. I know many geek/techies, and I am absolutely NOT one of them. Geek/Techies are excited by creating the technology. I am excited by what that technology can do and about discovering the possibilities. Technology is changing the way we do business, teach, and learn, in the 21st century, I am a part of that change."

R. Walizer, Ph.D., became an assistant professor teaching Reading and Language Arts courses in the Department of Teacher Education at Fort Hays State University in 2002. One of Dr. Walizer’s interests is the development of theoretically grounded interventions to improve teaching and increase students’ learning in technology-embedded classrooms. In order to do that, all students must feel safe when communicating with others by using and successfully applying their literacy skills (reading, writing, speaking, viewing, listening, and thinking) to multiple forms of technology.
