1. Creating a Positive, 21 st Century School Culture Information provided by the OUSD NoBullying Committee 2013-2014

2. What is Bullying? Bullying, whether direct or indirect, is defined as any severe or pervasive physical or verbal act (s) or conduct, including electronic communications that has, or can be reasonably predicted to have, the effect of one or more of the following:

3. What is Bullying? 1. Reasonable fear of harm to person or property. 2. Substantially detrimental effect on physical or mental health. 3. Substantial interference with academic performance. 4. Substantial interference with the ability to participate in or benefit from school services, activities, or privileges. Refer to Board Policy (BP) 5131.2 for more information.

4. Why do we need to teach CyberSafety? CyberSafety prevention helps provide a positive school culture. No one intends to bully, but kids say things that kids say. In the Cyberworld, negative messages get magnified and immortalized and can leave devastating effects on the victim.

5. Why do we need to teach CyberSafety? o Electronic media can be used in an unsafe manner, cyber bullying can occur and our students need to know how to protect themselves. o Laws have been passed that require every students be educated about cyber safety, cyber bullying and cyber citizenship. (Assembly Bill 307, Senate Bill 1492) E-rate requires this also. o OUSD can potentially lose millions of dollars in federal and state funding by not complying with CIPA and E-rate requirements. E-rate pays for the vast majority of the costs of the internet connectivity, phone lines at site and other electronic communication infrastructure for sites. o A person’s digital footprint starts from an early age and students must be aware that their actions, files, photos, creations have a life beyond their control o Copyright awareness, netiquette, and good digital citizenship are 21 st Century skills that every student should and must have to thrive in the Information Age

6. Understanding E-Rate and CIPA... E-Rate is a program that provides crucial support to help your school connect to the Internet. Schools and districts go through a long application process to get discounted wiring infrastructure and ongoing connectivity fees for their buildings. E-Rate does not fund computer or handheld devices.

7. E-Rate: New Compliance Requirements Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) includes the Protecting Children in the 21 st Century Act of 2008. CIPA requires that all districts receiving E-rate support have a policy to:

8. 3 CIPA-required topics 1.Appropriate online behavior 2.Safety and privacy 3.Cyberbullying

9. Comply with CIPA-mandated education www.commonsensemedia.org/erate

16. How can I prevent Cyber-Bullying? Adopt the Three Tier Approach to School Safety, the PIP Framework: 1. Prevention 2. Intervention 3. Protection

17. Prevention Prevention: Define, teach, and acknowledge whole-school culture where positive Cyber Responsible behavior is ‘expected’. The goal is to create a positive school culture in which positive behaviors are explicitly taught and reinforced and all adults respond in a consistent way.

18. Intervention Intervention: Responding and investigating to specific incidents of bullying and harassment. Example; provide (a) training and support for adults specific cyber fullying prevention, (b) training and support for youth to assist in addressing specific problem behaviors, (c)re- teach or affirm specific pro-social skills, and (d) provide small group intervention aimed at specific skill sets.

19. Protection Protection: Provide direct, individualized support for students who are engaged and highly impacted by Cyber Bullying.
