Bully Prevention Overview

Interconnected Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (I-MTSS)

Guiding Questions

What are common forms of bullying and harassment that you've seen on campus?

How do we create safe channels of communication so that students are willing to report to staff members?

What is Bullying?

“Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time.”

-Stopbullying.gov

What we know… Most bullying goes unreported. Many students don’t

tell school staff for fear of making the situation worse or being viewed as a “snitch.” Studies show that about 57 percent of bullying incidents are left unreported, and underreporting rises with increases in grade level in elementary and middle school students.

Bullying is often unwitnessed. Bullying most often happens out of the view of teachers and other faculty, or otherwise is in a form not easily seen. (e.g., cyberbullying).

Bullies thrive in environments where they are not held accountable for their actions.

Types of Bullying

Physical- Hurting a person's body or possessions.

Verbal- Saying or writing mean things.

Social- Hurting someone’s reputation or relationships.

Cyber- Using technology to hurt someone.

12

Cyberbullying Differences

Anonymity- 50% of students reported they didn’t know who bullied them.

Disinhibition– “You can’t see me I can’t see you.” Accessibility– 24/7 Punitive Fears- victims don’t report because fear

having computer or phone/computer privileges taken away

Bystanders- different for cyber bullying- don’t witness actual face to face confrontation.

Breakout Discussion

How can your current bullying prevention plan be adapted for distance learning?

What is Harassment?

The OCR (Office of Civil Rights) in 2013, informs us that actions taken by individuals combined with the creation of a negative environment for the student, can rise to the level of harassment if the impacted individual is a member of a protected class. These include but are not limited to: Disability, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, national origin, religion, and race.

Poll Question

How would you rank bullying as a priority for your sites upon return to live instruction?A) An immediate concern.

B) A potential issue to be addressed.

C) A long-standing issue that's been unaddressed.

D) Not a priority at all.

Why invest in Bully Prevention?

Victims of bullying are:• 4.6 times as likely as their peers to develop Agoraphobia

• 7 times as likely as their peers to develop generalized anxiety

• 3.1 times as likely as their peers to develop Panic Disorder

Copeland, Wolke, Angold, & Costello (2013)

Individuals who both bully and are bullied are:• 4.8 times as likely as their peers to develop clinical depression

Copeland, Wolke, Angold, & Costello (2013)

Strategies

Objectives for AdultsDifferentiate respectful from non-respectful behavior.

Label and interrupt non-respectful student behavior when encountered.

Use student and faculty forums to adapt curriculum to the local context (i.e.. Assemblies, staff meetings.)

Teach and reinforce student expectations.

Mediate conflict if presented with a problem situation.(i.e. Restorative Practices)

Collect and use information to continually improve the social climate of the school.

A three-part approach to School-wide Bully Prevention

Consider the smallest change that could make the biggest impact on Bullying. Do this without (a) teaching bullying, or (b) demeaning children who engage in bullying.

1. Establish a whole-school social culture where positive behavior is “expected” and rewards for bullying are NOT provided.

2. Provide training and support for adults to (a) train, (b) pre-correct, and (c) provide consequences for bullying

3. Provide direct, individualized support for students who engage in “bullying” or “victim” behaviors.

Conduct Student Survey

Breakout Discussion #2

How have you gathered feedback from your students regarding bullying ?

How did you use the data to enhance your prevention plan?

Objectives for Students

Problem behaviors are reinforced by peer attention.

Taking away peer attention is like taking away oxygen from a candle.

Cover the lit candle with the clear glass cup and watch as the flame slowly dies out.

How do we teach the students?

BrochuresDistrict 93 middle school brochure

ApplicationBuddy Bench –Helendale Elementary

PostersHelendale Elementary School

When a student reports bullying behavior (Adult Responses)...

Reinforce the student for reporting the problem behavior (i.e. "I'm glad you told me.")

Ask….1. "Did you tell the student to stop?" (If yes, praise the

student for using an appropriate response. If no, practice)

2. "Did you walk away from the problem behavior?" (If yes, praise student for using appropriate response. If no, practice.)

Ask who, what, when and where. Ensure the student’s safety.

1. What is the severity of the situation?2. What does the student need to feel safe?
