School-Wide Understanding of Bully Behavior
The next few counseling lessons (k-5) are focused on understanding the cycle of bully behavior, the roles of bully behavior, the means for bully behavior to occur, and ways to successfully shut this kind of behavior down.
As the students get older, we are exploring more opportunities for this behavior to occur:
k-2 may encounter: verbal, physical and emotional bully behavior
3-5 may encounter: verbal, physical, emotional, cyber and gender bully behavior
All students are gaining the knowledge that 70% of students fall within the witness group, while 15% are offenders and 15% are targets.
My goal is for all our students to be able to recognize when this kind of behavior is occurring and respond in a manner to make the situation better for everyone.
Another goal for this unit is for students to learn empathy and understand what it is like to be in someone else's situation. The ultimate goal is to recognize the bully behavior, practice empathy and then act to help yourself or others.
I want the kids to be able to break the cycle of bully behavior (hurt-anger-revenge...). Bully behavior is defined as one person having power over another to the point of making another person feel hurt, embarrassed or scared repeatedly.
A healthy safe school is a fun place to learn!
