Bullying is Never Okay: How to use a Gebser Letter | Special Education & IEP Advisor - 0 views

  • What can we do as parents if our children with disabilities are getting bullied in school?  If you feel the School did not take action to correct the situation in an acceptable manner and the bullying continues, then talk to an attorney about writing a “Gebser letter” to your school.  In a 1998 Supreme Court decision for Gebser v. Lago Vista School District the court concluded that in order to receive damages under a Title IX discrimination suit you must prove that the school district actually knew about the offense and refused to take action to correct it.  Thus, the term “Gebser Letter” was coined to mean a letter notifying a school district employee with authority about the discrimination or bullying.

Addressing Bullying in an IEP | Special Education & IEP Advisor - 0 views

  • When your child is being bullied the number one issue should be your child, not the other child’s punishment. This is an extremely hard pill to swallow but is necessary for your child’s safety and well-being. Children with disabilities are very often the target of bullying but these same children will most likely have an Individualized Education Program (IEP) which can be used as an effective way to address the bullying.

Keeping Students With Disabilities Safe from Bullying | ED.gov Blog - 0 views

  • As Secretary Duncan has noted, the Department of Education is committed to making sure that all of our young people grow up free of fear, violence, and bullying. Bullying not only threatens a student’s physical and emotional safety at school, but fosters a climate of fear and disrespect, creating conditions that negatively impact learning—undermining students’ ability to achieve to their full potential. Unfortunately, we know that children with disabilities are disproportionately affected by bullying.

Bullying does more long-term mental health harm than abuse, study says - LA Times - 0 views

Bullying in Schools: What Can I Do if My Child is Being Harassed or Bullied? by Jackie ... - 0 views

  • According to ASAP: A School-based Anti-Violence Program, victims tend to be "loners who tend to cry easily, lack self-defense skills, aren't able to use humor in conflict situations or who don't think quickly on their feet. Children who have few friends are always easy prey for bullies. It's easier to pick on a lone child without witnesses. Children who have special needs are also common victims for bullies."

Bullying Prevention: Ways for Parents and Educators to Work Together - 0 views

  • For the past few years, I have been part of various assessment projects related to family and community engagement, or as I like to call it, “the school-home-community partnership.” Bullying is a common topic raised by parents and educators, so I did some research on bullying-prevention programs that schools are using to address this issue.  Not surprisingly, each of the prevention programs has a strong component of parent involvement.

Battling Bullying and Exclusion with Acceptance and Belonging « Sopris Learning - 0 views

  • Despite increased awareness of the various forms of bullying, and school-based programs to combat it, countless children continue to perpetuate intentional mean-spirited actions directed at peers and adults. Whether it takes place in the home, school bus, carpool, playground, or classroom, preying upon sensitivities of others and/or harsh rejecting efforts aimed to exclude others have become commonplace. Perhaps it’s time for parents and teachers to coach children in practicing socially inclusive behaviors that create conditions where bullying and exclusion are not reinforced by peers.

Hit Back At Bullies? Not At This School : NPR - 0 views

  • The concepts are simple: Don't bully, help those who are being bullied and tell an adult what's going on. Pearre tries to reinforce the idea that the bully doesn't act alone. The community can take away the bully's power by refusing to cheer him on, by telling an adult, or perhaps the ultimate step: stepping in to help the victim.

Education Week: The Best Antidote to Bullying? Community-Building - 0 views

  • Bullying doesn't wound students; it pours salt on a pre-existing injury, causing it to hurt even more. Most students who are bullied have already been hurt. They are wounded by exclusion when they find themselves without friends or allies. They are wounded when they fail in school, or when they don't gain the approval of their peers or, all too often, their teachers. They are wounded when they don't get the help they need. And they are wounded when they feel they have no place to go, or no one to talk to.
