DSEA is committed to minority involvement in the Association. This Leadership Conference seeks to encourage ethnic minorities to aspire to leadership positions in their local Associations, DSEA and NEA. www.dsea.org In the Bullying workshop, future teachers from Delaware State's NEA Student Chapter participate in a role play, illustrating the many types of reactions to bullying situations. It's not just a bully and a victim. Participants talk about what observers can do. This workshop is led by NEA Training Cadre members Phil Johnson (pictured here in beige jacket) and Evelyn Smith.
