Bully Prevention: How Do I Intervene? (Independent Study)

It is important for educators to respond quickly and consistently to bullying behavior in order to send a clear message that bullying is not acceptable. Research shows that consistent intervention procedures can stop bullying behavior over time; whereas doing nothing at all  can make the bullying infinitely worse. There are simple steps adults can take to stop bullying on the spot and keep students safe. Educators will identify how the school culture and climate plays a role in bullying. While educators are well intentioned, they need guidance, training, and support to intervene effectively.
