Bullied Teacher - Bullied Student: How to recognise the bullying culture in your school and what to do about it
Les Parsons
To eradicate bullying in schools, the education community must first acknowledge its existence in all forms. This timely book explores the background and myriad of issues related not just to pupil-on-pupil bullying, but all forms of threatening and victimising behaviour found in too many schools.
Pupils are not the only ones who bully. Parents, teachers and headteachers bully too. Together, they create a bullying culture that strikes at the heart of effective learning and teaching. A bullying culture harms everyone it touches — the targets, pupil bystanders, teachers and parents.
This practical and accessible book shows teachers and administrators how to recognise a bullying culture in their school, and devise and implement a policy that works. Every school should be a place where staff and students alike feel safe and secure.
This indispensable guide suggests constructive ways to repair and heal a bullying school environment, by showing how to:
- recognise a systemic culture of bullying
- neutralise the power imbalance that enables bullies
- create an environment free of sexual, racial and cultural stereotyping
- use cooperative learning to foster respect for differences
- empower pupils through positive reinforcement
- counteract the ‘blame the victim’ mentality.
