Bias Reduction Plan: In the classroom, students may lie to prevent getting in trouble. That is understandable because, who wants to be in trouble anyway? However, I will discourage dishonesty in the classroom by promoting an environment in which students will feel comfortable with each other and with me. I will develop rapport with the students so that they see me as their teacher, their guide, and not an unfriendly figure of authority that imposes punishments to those who break the rules. Kindness will be my ally and will use it to demonstrate that any broken rules in the classroom can result is memorable learning experiences without incurring punishment. Perhaps the love and logic strategy of classroom management would help me reduce this bias because, as I treat students with kindness, dishonesty may be deter. Kindness will help me strengthen the student to teacher bond. My classroom will have zero tolerance to bullying. I will clearly indicate to all students, in the first day of class, that bullying can damage lives and that I will have the duty to any incidents should they occur. I believe in second chances, however, so any students are welcome in my classroom–especially those seeking a positive change in their lives. Again, kindness may serve as a tool to reduce my bias and to build a link between the student and myself. I will research the behaviors associated with bullying and will study the reasons why people bully others. In short, I will address my bias by
I earned my LCSW-R while coordinating independent living skills for males aging out of foster care in New York City. I am supervising Social Work interns for Clinical Placement for the last 15 years. My academic goals are to complete the PHD DSW Online Program, develop professional knowledge, cognitive theories of human behavior, preventive and intervention, in-depth understanding of social systems, theories, and an effective construction as I conduct un-bias research.

Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among people of all ages, but mostly school-age children. Society has been aware of bullying since around 1693, but it was not viewed as a real problem until the 1970s. “While overall incidents of school violence, such as assault and theft, have declined in the last decade, bullying is on the rise.” (qtd in Tyre) The percentage of middle and high school students that have been victimized by bullying went up from 14 percent in 2001 to 32 percent in 2009. (Tyre)
Bullying in the schools of today harms the innocent students all because of the at home violence the bully had received I will talk about the risk of bullying along with the effect bullying has on students. Bullying has affected people since the dawn of time. The first reference that a bullying scenario was recorded is found in the Bible. This relates to Lord of the Flies in the way bullying took over their lives. From the story to today’s world, they are similar methods of bullying found in both, from making fun of a nerd to beating up a kid these are found in both.
Ellen Smith¹ was really proud of her career achievements, after all, she was responsible for starting up in this well-known multinational company in an emerging country in South America. Working long hours, studying management, training new employees, implementing new systems and indirectly being a general manager were just some of the tasks attributed to Smith. She was pretty sure that, when the time was right and the company was structured enough in the
Over the past couple of decades, schools all across the nation have noticed a significant rise in the amount of bullying taking place among their students. “Two decades ago, bullying was often seen as a rare occurrence, where small groups of parents sought protection for their children with the school district”, stated by Vikki Healy Ortiz, writer of the article “New inclusive approach helps schools fight bullying”. However, the same cannot be said for our society in today’s world. Our modern world has advanced tremendously over the past few decades and there are even more opportunities for children to be susceptible to feeling isolated from others because they are simply unique. In today’s society, children have the potential to bully each other outside of the classroom as well.
Being bias can compromise the quality of decision making, they can cause misunderstanding, fights, and sometimes abuse social, emotional and spiritual. Begin bias it makes you treat people differently, and make you also see things differently. For example treating families who are not married and have children differently that families that are married and have children and are married. You can end up showing favourite by not involving children parents who are not married to participate in activities. This can sends a negative message to the parents, the children about their self-worth, and also about you. I plan on overcoming /managing these biases firstly, by Understanding and becoming aware of my own cultural values, beliefs, attitudes and
Bullying is a problem that is on the rise in society; however, many individuals have a distorted view of what bullying entails. Usually when someone thinks of bullying, they assume that it is a standard part of a child’s life. This view, on the contrary, is erroneous. Bullying is actually abnormal behavior, many times, leaving victims with a dismantled self identity. Since some people do not understand the consequences of bullying, the actions of the bully often go unnoticed and are perceived as “kids being kids”. The issue of bullying goes deeper than that nevertheless. Despite the erroneous views that many individuals hold towards bullying, it is still a distortion of normal behavior in children.
School bullying and bullying as a whole has become a growing concern. The need for more intervention is more recognized, as incidents of bullying and inappropriate acts towards others occur in places outside of the classroom. This literature takes a closer look at bullying in schools. Olwesus (2013) states “the field of bullying research is to some extent plagued by problems, disagreements, and unresolved issues” (p.752). Whether if anyone will agree on the root of bullying, the fact remains that bullying has to be examined at its very core to remedy the matter before it becomes a bigger concern. There is a dire need for intervention based programs to be set in place to address the fact the act of bullying has lasting effects on the bully and the victim. When intervention programs are put into place to address bullying, the act of bullying decreases due to the gained understanding of the effects.
Before taking the implicit bias tests, I thought they would be relatively simple because it would be a lot of matching with what words or people are most similar in your opinion. There could be a spectrum and you would place those words based on the significance they have to you. I believe it will be straightforward and easy, but as I was actually going through the tests, I found out it was more difficult than I expected. Victoria and I come from similar backgrounds with both parents working and having major in STEM. She is in animal science so we talked about how that could influence some of her answers. Like on the Gender-Career test, she had a moderate association with male with family and female with career
One of every five students is bullied each year (Bullying Basics,2017). Knowing that the problem of bullying is a large possibility in their classrooms, administrators’ and teachers’ main goal must be to offer a safe classroom and a positive, supportive learning environment to their students. If they work together to reach this goal, bullying can be
As more and more children go to school, the rates of bullying go up as time goes by. there are many times at which students suffer all the bullying that occurs within their lives. As more schools become aware of the magnitude of the bullying occurring right under their noses, there are rules created to aid the victim. There are various types of bullying and these are created to do one thing, instill superiority among the “stronger” and place a feeling of inferiority. Bullies are the ones who are detrimental to a child’s development.
Empowering students to reach their full potential physically, intellectually and socially are essential to an individual’s wellbeing. The school’s milieu needs to be a safe and respected space for this potential to reach its peak. A factor that contrasts with this ideology for schools and communities to be a safe place for students to gain a deep understanding of this world is the engagement in bullying practiced by students and even staff members. Preventing behaviours associated with bullying is very important due to the detrimental effects it has on students learning, social and emotional wellbeing and mental health status and therefore school, state and national policy has been enforced to clearly communicate that bullying is not tolerated. Although schools require to provide policy for students to have a safe learning environment, the autonomy and inconsistency of policies within schools has generated a lack coverage in important areas such as the lack of a specific expectation,
Have you ever bullied someone before or are you a victim of being bullied? Well, bullying is described as an immoral and aggressive behaviour where it has an impact on one person to another. This is caused by people assuming they are dominant, superior in age or position.

To be honest, bullying is a bad sign which results in lowering victim’s emotions and this may lead to mental illnesses such as depression and suicidal attempts. Actually, bullying to be present in school should not be tolerated in every possible way because it is violating a person’s human rights. This speech talks about the causes and the consequences of bullying as well the opinions to persuade you to be against bullying in schools and in general.
Many psychologists, school officials and government in local and state level have tried different approaches to resolve the issue of bullying. Students who endure bullying on a daily basis for a long period of time could suffer from mental illness and even have suicidal thoughts. It is necessary for all school systems to have a policy for bullying with zero tolerance so that these institution can promote a safe and positive environments for all students and educational professionals.
