Lesson 2

Intervention strategies


· Consequences
Establish consistent, school-wide consequences that guarantee swift responses to bullying behavior. The consequences to persistent bullying would be increasingly severe. All consequences would be non-hostile.


Level 1: classroom consequences


Level 2: referred to the guidance counselor


Level 3: referred to group counseling


Level 4: Administrative responses or more restrictive consequences


Prevention Strategies


· Training for students


· Training for teachers


· Training for administrators


1. Training for students: Students learn about bullying behaviors and how to be a part of the solution.
Empower the students to confront bullying. Use existing leadership groups to take on the project of school violence.
Implement support groups for victims and bullies.


2. Training for teachers and administrators: the staff will be taught to distinguish between normal peer conflict and bully/victim conflict and how to respond appropriately.


Discussion questions to determine bully/victim conflict or normal peer conflict:


1. How would a teacher determine what type of conflict is occurring between students?
2. What should a teacher do first?
3. Explain some typical responses a teacher might use to stop conflict.
