There are several other great anti-bullying programs and digital citizenship curricula to investigate. It all depends on your school's mission and vision and how it best fits your goal for a healthy and safe school environment. Below are a few links to help you determine which one(s) may be most effective for your school.
- Bullying Beyond the Schoolyard by Sameer Hinduja and Justin W. Patchin
- Cyber Bullying Checklist
- Edutopia's Bullying Prevention Resources
- The Bully Project
- StopBullying.gov Resources for Schools
- Cyberbullying.org Resources for Educators
As with parents, the most important pieces for educators to be mindful of are:
1) presence
AND
2) awareness.
If you are present to your students, not only will you recognize the issues of bullying that may be going on, but due to your presence, you may just curb, or even prevent, it from occurring. You also can begin a dialogue on responsible cyber behavior and good digital citizenship with your students.
By being aware of what your students are doing and are involved with, you simply become a major factor in preventing bullying from happening on school grounds and online. By being aware of the issues in your school, students learn the appropriate boundaries in how to interact with each other.
Through being present to your students' needs and aware of their concerns, you become the role model for how to behave in a positive and healthy manner.
