Success Stories
“I first met and attended one of Dr. Scherz workshops at a Bullying Conference in Florida. I was so impressed and taken with his approach to looking at bullying as a precursor to school violence through his books, research and literature that tied together culture and climate as a contributing cause. In ‘Discipline Re-imagined’, a workshop he brought to our 50 administrators, he outlined a new approach to aggression and the whole child, applying psychology to identifying and approaching kids at risk. In summary, Dr. Scherz brought a different way of approaching and thinking that I hope to develop an ongoing relationship with his work bringing a more wholistic social emotional approach to helping children, families, and faculty in our community.”
