Teaching a stressful profession where there is barely enough time to convey the course material
needed for students to pass exams and reach the desired academic standard let alone deal with all
the classroom politics, which may involve and hide cases of bullying.
Even when cases of bullying are brought to a teachers attention it can be difficult to ascertain and assess what has been going on. Bullies are highly skilled at dodging the issue or turning it back round on the victim, meaning the situation never gets dealt with or resolved and everyone (except the bully) leaves with a sour taste in their mouth: the teacher knows they've accomplished little and the bullied student sees the teacher as inneffectual.
Our "Anti Bullying Courses For Teachers" look at ways teachers can be aware of bullying incidents along with a method/system for investigating these incidents. We also demonstrate the ways to bring poth parties together and how to get a bully to acknowledge responsibility for their actions. These skills are all taught in one day, meaning for a 6 hour investment a teacher/school becomes skilled at addressing bullying within their institution.
We run these course as and when requested (It is normally schools and teacher organizations that organize these events) . If you would like to express an interest in running one of these seminars please use the contact form, which can be accessed by clicking here.
The SEPS ant-bullying program is not based purely on anecdotal evidence or on seemingly good ideas. It is based on solid, intensive research. You can help us understand school bullying by taking our online Bullying survey. It doesn't matter if you are a child/teen who is being bullied, the parent of a bullied child or whether you were bullied at school or not. 5 minutes of your time and your answers will help us considerably in our work to understand an end bullying.
