Understanding Bullying Course

Historically, the majority of bullying happened at school, on school property and on the school bus. Today it has spread beyond the playground and into digital attacks. No matter where bullying happens, it can have a profound impact on a student's ability to learn, as well as their social and emotional well being. With this comprehensive training on the signs of bullying and latest tactics on combating it, your staff will know what to do to both identify and improve the situation. When bullying is not recognized and addressed, the outcome can be catastrophic.

Understanding Bullying By The Numbers

160,000 kids skip school each day because of bullying
90% of students in 4th through 8th grade say they have been bullied
64% of bullied students don't report it, so educators and administrators need to know the signs
Zero tolerance and expulsion policies are not an effective solution; a consistent and multi-angled approach is necessary
71% of students say bullying is a problem, which means school staffs need to be educated on all types of modern bullying to better prevent, recognize and resolve it effectively.

Just as schools and education have evolved, so, too, have bullies.

Bullying is a complex issue. Don’t let your staff figure it out on their own, at the expense of the emotional and physical well-being of your students. Give them the training and tools they need to stop bullying from happening in the first place, empowering your students as bystanders, and supporting positive outcomes for all.
