Targeting Bullying Blind Spots

Although the caricature of a bully stealing lunch money or shoving a student into a locker is easily identifiable in a school setting, educators will tell you that the bullying behaviors they grapple with are much subtler and more diffuse. This issue looks at the new skill set educators and students are using to detect, prevent, and respond to bullying by addressing antecedent behaviors, supporting digital citizenship, intervening when peers are targeted, and creating safe school communities.


Features

Elizabeth Englander on Targeting the Behaviors That Feed Bullying

Laura Varlas

What if we've been going about bullying detection and prevention all wrong? Elizabeth Englander, the director of the Massachusetts Aggression Reduction Center, says eliminating bullying requires noticing and responding to the (often minor) contemptuous behaviors that create a receptive climate for bullying.

The Case for a Student-Driven Approach to Improving School Climate

Zachariah Sippy

Students want dialogue, not discipline, to be the lever for school climate change. A Student Voice Team member relates how students become disenfranchised from school issues like bullying and why students need to be welcomed as full partners in creating healthy learning environments.

How to Break the Code of Snitching, Snapping, and Trapping

Mark Covelle

Through empathy and a student-centered, restorative approach, an assistant principal confronts two big challenges to bullying prevention: gaining student trust and understanding new digital communication landscapes.

An After-School Club That Reaches All Students—Even Former Bullies

John Boggs

Giving students a place to talk about complicated issues creates opportunities for them to connect and for disparate student groups to find common ground.
