Lincoln Lions Roar Against Bullying Created by the LPAC Lincoln Charter School Parent Advisor Council 2011-2012 School Year

What Causes Bullying? Bullying is not a new problem in schools, but it is gaining more attention as episodes of school violence are increasing. Below are some of the major causes of bullying schools. Why? Desire for Attention Cycle of Abuse Influence of Media Desire for Control Gang Membership

What Does Bullying Look Like? Cliques of kids Kids make faces Kids might make the Loser Kids start false rumors

What Does Bullying Look Like Cont. Denial of Bullying Bully will give insincere Bullying online and texting

What Does the Victim Look Like Poor social skills Lack of confidence Don’t have support of teacher Blame themselves Desperate to fit in Adults in their lives treat them badly Highly unlikely to seek help

What are School’s Responsibilities? “Every student has the right to a safe school and the school has a responsibility to stop bullying.” Firm, fair, and consistent enforcement of school discipline policies, meaningful school climate strategies which include anti-bullying initiatives, and balanced security measures can lead to school climates with less bullying and fewer safety threats to children. Curriculum Prevention Lessons

Next Steps Assess bullying in your school. Increase adult supervision in bullying "hot spots.” Involve students, parents, teachers, and staff in bullying prevention. Encourage teachers and staff to file incident reports of bullying Create policies and rules.

Next Steps cont. Integrate bullying prevention material into curriculum and school activities. Promote extracurricular activities. Raise awareness about your bullying prevention initiative. Establish a school culture of acceptance, tolerance and respect.

Help The Bully Isolate the bullying behavior Remove bullying from situation Ask offender to write letter home Follow up that the letter went home Working with persistent offenders It difficult to leave the negative behaviors behind Get other agencies involved Get support from the police department and community

Help The Victim First: Express relief that the bullying is now out in the open Avoid focusing on the shortcomings of the bullying victim. Concentrate on where the immediate problem is - the behavior of the bully. The aim of any intervention must be to stop the immediate abuse. Ensure that the bully changes his or her behavior. Make the peer group aware and ask them to help the victim. Provide support for the victim

Help the Victim cont. Ensure the victim has access to a bully free environment at all times. Use reliable peers, teacher aids, senior volunteers and others as supporters. Spend time with the isolated pupil. A special safe room that has adequate staff supervision is useful. Withdrawn and isolated victims Need the opportunity to be involved in special confidence building programs. Have difficulty integrating with their peer group

Study Measures Bullying's Academic Toll While bullying is known to leave physical and emotional scars, a new study finds that victims may suffer long-lasting academic effects, and high-achieving black and Latino students are especially vulnerable. “Schools may think that because students are black and Latino, they’re better able to handle bullying,” she said, “and their schools won’t have the same type of [bullying prevention] programs.” Ms. Williams’ and Mr. Peguero’s results were based on the academic performance of 9,590 students in 580 schools.

Friends to Friends Club Mission of Club: Is to build self confidence in the students at Lincoln Charter School. To help create an community that celebrates the difference of all students. How will the mission be met: Through monthly club meetings after school that will focus on building self- esteem, teach critical thinking skills, and help develop self soothing behaviors. How will students be referred: by administration, parent request, or from student support manager.

Positive Affirmation Lesson Positive affirmations can “re-wire” your brain and give you a feeling of happiness, the power that can help you dealing with the challenges you face. Every morning when you get up choose one of these self-esteem affirmations. Have students use these self-esteem affirmations to get going in the morning; I AM THE BEST I AM HAPPY AND SUCCESSFUL I CAN DO EVERYTHING I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE TODAY I DESERVE TO BE HAPPY I AM A GREAT COMMUNICATOR I PULL BACK MY SHOULDER, LIFT UP MY CHIN AND I FEEL THE POWER I AM RELAXED I FEEL GREAT

Questions for further Discussion When choosing an intervention, you may want to consider the following questions: Did the bullying incident occur within the school's jurisdiction? What is the history of the students involved? What is the nature of the bullying behavior? How frequent and severe is the bullying? What intervention will promote a positive outcome for the students? Does the intervention fit within the school district's guidelines?
