Talking About Bullying
Helpful Advice for Teachers, Parents and Students

Fall 2009
Greetings!

National Bullying Awareness Week (November 16-22) is fast approaching and this year's theme is "Stand Up!"

We at Kid-Safe Productions have decided to honour the week by devoting our fall newsletter to providing teachers, principals, parents and students with information on bullying from Dr. Ken Rigby of the University of South Australia and from a professional Kids Help Phone counsellor.  We hope you will find this information helpful in building and maintain positive school climates within your community.
 
Please check out the articles and resources below to help you prepare for National Bullying Awareness Week. Plus, get a money saving coupon to use when booking a Kid-Safe Productions show.
 
All the best,

Talking With Students In Class About Bullying
Teachers Help
Getting the active cooperation of students is a vital part of countering bullying. This involves talking with students individually and in groups about bullying and how they can help to stop it. Students can, with your help, assist greatly in implementing and even developing school policy. Here are some suggestions for conducting class discussions.
