How does Denver Public Schools work to prevent bullying and create safe, welcoming schools for every student?

In this episode of the EDUCA DPS Podcast, host Javier Ibarra sits down with Wes Ogburn, DPS bullying prevention expert, to talk about how the district is working to build positive school culture through restorative practices, social-emotional learning and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS).

Together they discuss:
• What bullying prevention looks like in DPS schools
• Current trends and student data around bullying
• The role social media plays in student interactions
• How schools support both students experiencing bullying and those exhibiting bullying behaviors
• What families can do to help create safe and supportive environments for students

At Denver Public Schools, we believe Every Learner Thrives when students feel safe, valued and supported in their school community.
