3 Workshop Objectives Participants in the workshop will:  Consider what a supportive classroom climate looks like and how it can prevent bullying.  Examine the role of teacher-to-student and student-to- student relationships in building a supportive classroom climate.  Explore strategies for preventing bullying in the classroom, including establishing a culture of respect for differences among students.  Consider how a web of positive support among students and other adults across the school community can help prevent bullying.  Identify and commit to use one new strategy for preventing bullying in their daily work with students.

4 Bullying Behaviors Defined 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. Citation  13

9 Willingness to Intervene  When teachers and staff feel valued, they are more likely to become involved and intervene in a bullying situation.  When teachers and paraeducators report high levels of connectedness, they report greater comfort levels intervening in a bullying situation.  Feelings of comfort in being willing to intervene are correlated to:  Knowing effective intervention strategies  Knowing that others in the school also are likely to intervene Citation  3
