What:
Teasing, taunting, bullying, harassment, and physical aggression are pervasive problems with children and adolescents across the country and in our communities today. To address these problems, schools need comprehensive, evidence-based, and ecologically-sound assessment to intervention approaches at the primary (e.g., whole school or school linked to community), secondary (e.g., early intervention groups for potential or "early-indication" bullies or victims), and tertiary (e.g., direct services for existing bullies) levels of prevention. This webinar will present strategies at each of these intervention levels using Project ACHIEVE's "Special Situation Analysis" approach. More specifically, the webinar will discuss ways to leverage social skills training, peer-mediated approaches, school-wide accountability systems, school safety systems, and home-school collaboration such that teasing, taunting, bullying, harassment, and physical aggression is either prevented or addressed. Especially emphasized will be the importance of differentiating approaches to address the bullies, victims, and bystanders who are involved in these inappropriate interactions. Participants will learn: How school-based teasing, taunting, bullying, harassment, and physical aggression need to be addressed through comprehensive, evidence-based, and ecologically-sound assessment to intervention approaches at the primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention levels; How to apply Project ACHIEVE's "Special Situation Analysis" approach to interventions at these three levels ; How to leverage social skills training, peer-mediated approaches, school-wide accountability systems, school safety systems, and home-school col

What:
Bullying is often considered a repetitive form of peer aggression, and aggressive behaviors are often evaluated successfully through functional behavior assessment (FBA). FBA can help identify the functions of bullying behaviors, as well as identify socially appropriate target skills. This webinar explores both general and targeted strategies for conducting a functional behavior assessment for bullying behaviors, as well as strategies for implementing bully prevention within a PBIS framework.

U.S. Education Department Releases Analysis of State Bullying Laws and Policies | U.S. ... - 0 views

The U.S. Department of Education released today Analysis of State Bullying Laws and Policies, a new report summarizing current approaches in the 46 states with anti-bullying laws and the 41 states that have created anti-bullying policies as models for schools. The report shows the prevalence of state efforts to combat bullying over the last several years. From 1999 to 2010, more than 120 bills were enacted by state legislatures from across the country to either introduce or amend statutes that address bullying and related behaviors in schools. Twenty-one new bills were enacted in 2010 and eight additional bills were signed into law through April 30, 2011. Out of the 46 states with anti-bullying laws in place, 36 have provisions that prohibit cyber bullying and 13 have statutes that grant schools the authority to address off-campus behavior that creates a hostile school environment. "Every state should have effective bullying prevention efforts in place to protect children inside and outside of school," said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. "This report reveals that while most states have enacted legislation around this important issue, a great deal of work remains to ensure adults are doing everything possible to keep our kids safe."

Children with disabilities—such as physical, developmental, intellectual, emotional, and sensory disabilities—are at an increased risk of being bullied. Any number of factors— physical vulnerability, social skill challenges, or intolerant environments—may increase the risk. Research suggests that some children with disabilities may bully others as well.Kids with special health needs, such as epilepsy or food allergies, also may be at higher risk of being bullied. Bullying can include making fun of kids because of their allergies or exposing them to the things they are allergic to. In these cases, bullying is not just serious, it can mean life or death.
Keeping Students with Disabilities Safe from Bullying | ED.gov Blog - 0 views

To that end, today, ED’s Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) issued guidance to educators and stakeholders on the matter of bullying of students with disabilities. This guidance provides an overview of school districts’ responsibilities to ensure that students with disabilities who are subject to bullying continue to receive free appropriate public education (FAPE) under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Under IDEA, States and school districts are obligated to ensure that students with disabilities receive FAPE in the least restrictive environment (LRE). This guidance explains that any bullying of a student with disabilities which results in the student not receiving meaningful educational benefit is considered a denial of FAPE. Furthermore, this letter notes that certain changes to an educational program of a student with a disability (e.g., placement in a more restricted “protected” setting to avoid bullying behavior) may constitute a denial of FAPE in the LRE.

Approximately 32 percent of students report being bullied at school. Bullied students are more likely (1) to take a weapon to school, get involved in physical fights, and suffer from anxiety and depression, health problems, and mental health problems. They suffer academically (2) (especially high-achieving black and Latino students). And research suggests that schools where students report a more severe bullying climate score worse (3) on standardized assessments than schools with a better climate.

The Journal of Adolescent Health released a special issue focusing for the first time on the relationship between bullying and suicide. The special issue was assembled by an expert panel brought together by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The panel looked at the latest research that examined youth involvement in bullying as a victim, perpetrator, or both and found them to be highly associated with suicidal thoughts and behaviors. The panel also examined the association of youth involved in bullying who experience suicide-related behaviors and other risk factors for suicide, such as depression, delinquency, physical and sexual abuse, and exposure to violence.

A school and community that do not address bullying cannot ensure that each student is healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged. Bullying influences each critical dimension of a whole child approach to education because it compromises students’ physical and emotional health and safety; affects their relationships with peers and adults in the school; creates barriers that prevent them from engaging in learning and connecting to the school and broader community; and affects their academic performance. When bullying goes unaddressed, it can create a negative school culture and organizational patterns that shape students’ learning and development.
