Free Antibullying Tool Kit for Teachers Now Available

Educators know that bullying affects classroom learning, but all too often they don’t receive training to help them stop bullying on the spot and prevent it from happening. That’s why the U.S. Department of Education has developed free training for classroom teachers that shares research-based best practices for addressing bullying. Read on for a brief description of the two-part training program and to access additional free bullying-prevention resources.

Try this in your class:

“A teacher in New York was teaching her class about bullying and gave them the following exercise to perform. She had the children take out a piece of paper and told them to crumple it up, stomp on it and really mess it up, but not to rip it. Then she had them unfold the paper, smooth it out and look at how scarred and dirty it was. She then told them to tell it they’re sorry. Now, even though they said they were sorry and tried to fix the paper, she pointed out all the scars they left behind. And that those scars will never go away no matter how hard they tried to fix it. That is what happens when a child bullies another child, they may say they’re sorry, but the scars are there forever. The looks on the faces of the children in the classroom told her the message hit home.”

Here is a video that illustrates the effects of bullying – It is 3.5 minutes long. Use this to generate discussion about how it feels. (x out of the google ads and click on the lower right corner for full screen)
