Brief Description:
In this assignment I include a definition of bullying. I include a bullying pledge
for students to sign. I describe a way to make a bullying banner as a class. I include
a bullying role play puppet skit. I include a list of appropriate bullying classroom
rules. I also include an assessment. I offer advice and places to go to get help.
Rationale:
To document my understanding of Standard #6, Assessment; I have selected to
include a Bullying Prevention Power Point. This assignment shows my ability to
model and structure processes that guide learners in examining their own thinking
and learning as well as the performance of others. This assignment also shows my
ability to know when and how to engage learners in analyzing their own assessment
results and in helping to set goals for their own learning.
Bullying Definition
Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school
aged children that involves a real or perceived power
imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to
be repeated, over time. Bullying includes actions such as
making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone
physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a
group on purpose.
