I have a huge problem with bullying in my program. I have been unsuccessful finding resources to teach students with disabilities the importance of not bullying each other. The form of bullying is texting, facebook, and purpusful exclusion of peer grouping. Does anyone have any resources out there? Its an interesting group and dynamic, the students range from 18-27 years old, socially its at a 6-9 grade level.<br /><br />Thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1691205078500083881.post-65129627538447666762012-03-05T14:37:39.424-05:002012-03-05T14:37:39.424-05:00Thanks for your thoughtful comment.

This school year I have gone in to two classes with the counselor and talked about bullying and SpEd students. <br /><br />I teach at a school that has adopted Olweus anti-bullying program. It has been successful at the elementary level. Each school year we have a “kick off” to celebrate our schools’ anti-bullying policies. The community is involved and every year the support grows. <br />I agree that bullying has effects on students beyond physical and mental health of students. I personally know that I have a student who is being bullied daily, his grades are dropping, his self esteem, he hates coming to school. It truly breaks my heart. The students that are the bullies have been talked to numerous times; action has been taken at school. Now the bullies do it off school grounds or are becoming sneaky. Some of the hard things are when a teacher does not see what happens. It is one student’s word against the other. I am proud that my school has taken a no tolerance to bullying. We are trying to make a change. I do see that each year students become sneakier and the bullying is harder to "catch.”<br />I find the “cyber bullying” is hitting my school hard. Texting and facebook have been a huge problem with students. As teachers it does not happen at school, therefore we cannot step in. We have been trained by law enforcement agents and we are supposed to have the students call the cops/police. Some parents have, it has not been good. I hope that more education becomes available to students, teachers, and families about the true severity of bullying both in person and on the web.Prudy Jo's Technology SpEd Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100581939459861706noreply@blogger.com
