WHAT TEACHERS CAN DO: Creating a school community where bullying is not tolerated
What are the duties and responsibilities of a professional educator related to bullying in schools?
1. Identify the extent of the problem through observations, conferences, and written surveys
2. Educate parents on what to look for, as well as on how to respond appropriately
3. Create staff development opportunities on the subject of bullying preventions. Some of the
most effective staff development will be the discussions that occur throughout the school
year as staff monitor and try to manage bullying behavior
4. Educate and encourage student involvement in bullying prevention. As much as adults can
positively impact bullying, the real power will be with the students themselves. Helping
them to understand and recognize their individual, as well as collective, roles will be a major
factor in your bullying prevention efforts
5. Strategic supervision is essential
WATCH FOR WARNING SIGNS: Communicate to Administration, Parents, or Others
who Need to Know (may involve Child Protective Services in the case of abuse). Teachers are
obligated by law as Mandated Reporters to notify authorities when a child is in danger!
