Character Education, In-Services, And Anti-Bullying School Rallies

One way of stopping bullying is through anti-bullying campaign and group discussion seminar regarding the effects of bullying. By building this campaign, it can help the victims feel like they are not alone and have someone who will listen to them. Having someone who they can vent to in the time of need, can help relieve the pain they are drowning in. With these seminars, we can teach others about the effects that bullying brings on their victims.This campaign can help them relieve the pain and become stronger as an individual to overcome this horrible obstacle in their life.Statistics have shown that bullies themselves don’t see the outcomes of the harm they are doing. According to Rachel C. Vreeman, assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the Indiana University School of Medicine, “evaluations of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program, a comprehensive “whole-school” intervention on which many subsequent programs have been based, report reductions of 30% to 70% in the student reports of being bullied and bullying others.” (20) Which demonstrates by having these campaigns it can help dramatically to be spread throughout, to help every child and not simply ignore the problem.

Bullying is on the rise across the nation. According to the National Center for Educational Statistics, 30 percent of students of students were bullied during the 2010-2011 school year. Whether verbal or physical, bullying has a negative effect on the victims. Students who are bullied often experience depression, loneliness, anxiety, and isolation. The common types of bullying in a school setting are physical and verbal. With the rise in the use of social media, cyberbullying has become a big problem among children. Children who bully others are often bullied at home by a parental figure. This is why it is very important to incorporate moral instruction into the curriculum, teaching students about respect and caring for others, instead of bullying them. Schools have started to take extra precautions to eliminate bullying by implementing prevention programs. As educators, it is our responsibilities to prevent bullying from happening in our schools and protect our students. It is important that we model moral and ethical behavior for students to follow. It’s also important that we take precautions and investigate all forms of bullying, instead of only taking action when we witness physical aggression.

There are a variety of barriers to implementing an ideal bully prevention program in schools. For example, the severity of bullying may be underestimated, lack of a well trained faculty and staff, and other important issues, such as academic performance and graduation rates. However, bullying indisputably is a prevalent problem that can result in many negative outcomes as outlined previously. Thus, an ideal anti-bullying program could help to decrease potential negative consequences and increase achievement. An effective anti-bullying program would consider activities that deal with vital issues involved with the problem of bullying. For example these activities would include school faculty, student, and parent involvement, educational approaches with students, interventions with bullies, victims, and bystanders, and systems-level interventions (Sherer & Nickerson).

I think viewing these values from the child’s point of view and applying them as a child could is interesting. Integrity can help a child remain honest and speak up when they need to. Taking responsibility for actions and situations that the child might get into will help them get out of a bad situation, hopefully with minimal damage and a lesson learned. Concern for others can go a long way especially with children. For example if a child sees a classmate or friend being treated poorly by a superior or by another child, caring for the victim will help a great amount. Often times people turn their head to situations that look bad but don’t involve them which is a bug cause of the problem, talking and getting help is the right thing to

Bullying has become a tragic social issue where inoculating youth may benefit society. In this situation, schools might bring in drama teams to role play with students on the effects of bullying. Perhaps educators could use comic books built around stories depicting scenarios that are true to life and age appropriate. The central idea is to inject these messages in many smaller ways so that it builds a resistance to any persuasive message that bullying is acceptable on any level at any age.

It is important to read about bullying through fiction, like the book Eleanor and Park, because it helps the reader get a sense of what bullying is like and what it does to the person being bullied. Many teenagers go through the saame thing Eleanor went through, such as physical and emotional abuse, which is why bullying is relevant in the real world. Learning through fiction will give the students a better outlook on bullying and it will help them understand the importance of stopping bullying. As seen throughout this essay, bullying is a dangerous behavioral problem that can lead to long lasting effects not only on the victim, but also on the bully. In some cases, bullying can even lead the victim to

Traditional educational methods are by no means ineffective, as evidenced by our populations increasing number of individuals attaining higher education (Murnrne, “Graduations on the rise”). Every human being is a unique organism, therefore it stands to reason that we each have different way of learning. Current educational methods that are open to and required of all young children ages 3-5 are based on academic achievement. A concept well understood by adults but completely foreign to a tiny human who has not even learned to tie their shoes. How much of a long term effect can memorizing 2x10 = 20 as opposed to actually seeing how and understanding hot the answer was achieved (Caring for Your Baby). Its knowing how to get from point a to point be but not knowing how to read a map if you have to get to point c.

A teacher’s actions and words can leave a lasting impression. Young minds are vulnerable, and thus are susceptible to environmental and social influences. Therefore, the role of a teacher is profound. Teachers must promote equality, support all learners, convey knowledge, and actively promote learning. Through reflecting on my experiences as a student, the necessary qualities of a phenomenal teacher are apparent. These teachers have a passion for education, an uncanny ability to successfully impart knowledge, and a drive to inspire and support students.

This journal was on the effectiveness of a new anti-bullying program called Cyberprogram 2.0 it helps teach students conflict management strategies and helps build self-esteem. Being bulled over the internet or at school are the two main ways bullying is happening right now. This type of behavior is really getting out of hand, providing our children with the correct knowledge and skills is really our best defense to help combat this epidemic. Not only can it help the child being bullied by building self-confidence, and providing them with coping skills. There has been evidence that it also helped stop some of the bullying from even happening by encouraging empathy, putting yourself in that persons shoes. Now that doesn’t mean that it is never going to happen it means we have to have our children prepared and ready to deal with it.

I will take you on a journey through my childhood life of bullies when I started school in South Carolina not long after I moved from China. As you might know when foreigners come here to South Carolina they don’t know much or at all any English.

Schools are and will forever be learning institutions, but learning isn’t limited to purely comprehension and fact memorization that can be found in books. Furthermore, knowledge is an unquantifiable metric and similarly, grades and scores have a multitude of factors that could affect the results. This is not to devalue good academic standing but rather raising a question of “Do we want to develop students holistically or

I believe that students are our future. With that being said, each and every student has the potential to bring something special and extraordinary to the world. I feel that teaching is an imperative and honorable occupation that demands commitment not only to the student but the community that we live in. A teacher has the opportunity to impact on students’ lives in a positive way; this is a huge privilege that shouldn’t be taken lightly. I also believe that a teacher should be a positive role model for each student. Additionally, I also believe that student-learning needs are the primary focus of attention. Furthermore, the teacher should demonstrate enthusiasm and the importance of each class and subject being instructed. Also while being a positive image for a child can be a challenge in its own way, I also believe that an outstanding teacher can be fair but firm.

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in bullying and providing prevention, intervention, and curriculum in the schools. It is crucial for schools to investigate their current school social culture and the climate of bullying in their building among the students along with essential involvement and buy in from parents and community members (Bradshaw 2015). We will now focus on the approach and importance of bullying from a Tier 1 intervention perspective.

The implementation of anti-bullying initiatives has become increasingly linked with educational polices aimed at improving a school’s effectiveness. We now know that students’ social and emotional learning helps to facilitate their academic learning, and that a student’s level of social competence and the success of their social lives often correlates with their success in classroom academics. Research has continued to highlight that any significant change in school practices requires time and a consistent whole-school approach, especially in the area of bullying preventative strategies. The goals of anti-bullying initiatives also align with the teaching in schools of indispensable socio-moral values such as respect, care, cooperation, acceptance of differences and inclusion. In summary, there are significant moral, social, emotional and educational advantages to addressing the issue of bullying in schools.

When I think about teachers that I have had in the past, several different ones come to my mind. Each of these educators stands out in my mind for a variety of diverse reasons. Whether it is their sense of humor, their tactfulness, their love of the subject matter, their fanatical and sporadic behavior, or their yearning to be childish themselves, I can still remember at least one quality of every teacher I have ever encountered. Every one of these teachers conveyed subject material to their students just as they were educated and employed to do. However, I trust that every professional in the world has an abundance of opportunity for improvement; teachers could discover and improve themselves merely by having
