Methodology
Question 1:
In your own words, what would you
describe as bullying?
Question 2:
Where does bullying typically happen?
Have you witnessed it?
Question 3:
Whats the proper protocol for
bullying? What would you do if
someone was being bullied?
When a student reports a bullying incident, the first step would be to assure
the safety of the person(s) being bullied.
Investigate the bullying incident. (Always document conversations. Keeping
a record will help you to see if there is a pattern in the bullys behavior.)
Talk to the bullying student about why their actions/words are inappropriate.
Come up with a plan on how they could have handled the situation in a
better way. Sometimes making a contract with the bully helps to make him
accountable for his actions.
Speak to the school counselor about suggestions on how to handle the
situation at hand.
Call parents of the incident and what actions you have taken.
I would follow the steps I listed above. Of course every incident is different
and may call for some adjustments. Some victims of bullying would rather
you not tell the bully that they reported it. If possible, it is important to keep
the trust of the reporter, otherwise the student being bullied may not make
a report again.
