  1. INQUIRY QUESTION: Walter King EDPB 514 February 18, 2012

  2. INQUIRY QUESTION:What are some ways educators in elementary schools can reduce (and ideally eliminate) instances of bullying among students? Walter King EDPB 514 February 18, 2012

  3. CENTRAL QUESTION AND CONTEXT • Central Question: What are some ways educators in elementary schools can reduce (and ideally eliminate) instances of bullying among students? • Thousands of resources on bullying; hence, there are issues (e.g., cyber bullying) that are outside the scope of this inquiry. • Powerpoint bullets are broad outlines. More specific surface in presentation. • Your participation will be appreciated in this presentation!

  4. PROCESS TO EXPLORE QUESTION • I know people who have been bullied. • I was introduced to bullying in an academic sense from my EDPB 503 text (McDevitt & Ormond, 2011). • I learned about cyber-bullying in EDTE 611. • In EDFE 515, I taught in a school with a successful anti-bullying effort. • Naturally, my curiosity spurred—what can educators do to reduce and ideally eliminate bullying?

  5. PROCESS TO EXPLORE QUESTION • As much as possible in this inquiry, I focussed on elementary school students. • I reflected on previous experiences, and searched and reviewed books, journal articles, and websites relating to the topic. • This presentation is summary of some salient points in a presentation of 25 minutes.

  6. RECOGNIZE THE SERIOUSNESS OF BULLYING • Bullying occurs at significant rates (Aboud & Miller, 2007; Craig & Pepler, 1997) • Can contribute to reduced academic performance (Konishi, Hymel, Zumbo, & Li, 2010) • Can contribute to increased psychological problems (Fekkes, Pijpers, Fredricks, Vogels, & Verloove-Vanhorick, 2006)

  7. BECOME FAMILIARIZED WITH ISSUES • Bullying is “intentional, repetitive, and an imbalance of power” (Vaillancourt et al, 2008, p. 486) • Can take many forms (Olewus, 2011) • Characteristics of bullies and victims (Coloroso, 2002)

  8. INVOLVE ALL STAKEHOLDERS • “The research that has been conducted on bullying prevention and intervention suggests that anti-bullying initiatives should include individual, peer, family, school, and community efforts” (Swearer, Espelage, Vaillancourt, and Hymel, 2010, p. 43)

  9. BE PROACTIVE AND PREVENTIVE • Watch for warning signs • School-wide programs for anti-bullying (Rigby, 2001; Vreemen and Carroll, 2007) • School culture

  10. BE PROACTIVE AND PREVENTIVE • Effective classroom management (Rigby, 2001) • Lessons on anti-bullying (BC Ministries of Attorney General and Education, 1999) • Lessons on areas relating to social and emotional development (Beane, 1999) and conflict management • Assessment at all levels (Hoover & Oliver, 1996)

  11. EFFECTIVE RESPONSES • Listen and support (Beane, 1999; Coloroso, 2002) • Intervene and report (Rigby, 1998) • 3 R’s: “Restitution, resolution, and reconciliation” (Coloroso)

  12. THANK YOU!  • THOUGHTS? • QUESTIONS? • FEEDBACK?
