Standard #3: Learning Environments

The teacher works with others to create environments that support individual and
collaborate learning, and that encourage positive social interaction, active engagement
in learning, and self-motivation.
Description:
We have constructed a PowerPoint Presentation to explain what bullying is in the
school system. There are many types of bullying and many ways to prevent it and this
presentation expresses each type and gives you good advice on how to help your
students, friends, and children stop bullying and prevent from being bullied.
Rationale:
To document my understanding of Standard # 3, Learner Environments, I selected to
make a PowerPoint regarding bullying because it is evident that I am going to deal with
these situations in my near future as a teacher. My workplace is the environment for my
students and I so, understanding the environment around us is a important aspect in our
lives.

What Is Bullying?
School bullying can consist of physical violence against a
student, but more often involves teasing and attempts to
humiliate the target student in front of others.
Types of bullying include:
Verbal
Cyber-bullying
Physical
Covert or Hidden

Verbal Bullying

Verbal Bullying is when the attacker uses words to hurt the victim. This could
include name calling, insults, teasing, intimidation, homophobic or racist remarks,
or verbal abuse.

Ways to stop it: Empower students to

support each other. Teaching children
to work together to stand up to a
bully, encouraging them to reach out
to excluded peers, celebrating acts of
kindness, and reinforcing the
availability of adult support can
transform what experts call the
silent majority into a caring
majority of students who become
part of the anti-bullying solution.

Cyber-Bullying
Cyber-Bullying is the use of electronic communication
to bully a person, typically by sending messages of an
intimidating or threatening nature.
Ways to prevent it: Know the sites your kids visit and monitor their online
activities. Ask where they are going and what they are doing with it. Also,
encourage your kids to tell you immediately if they, or someone they know, is
being cyberbullied. Explain that you will not take away their computers or
cell phones if they confide in you about a problem they are having

Physical Bullying
Physical Bullying is anything that hurts
someones body or damages their
possessions. Stealing, shoving, hitting,
fighting, and destroying property all are
types of physical bullying.
Ways to prevent it: Establish clear consistent
consequences for bullying behavior that all
children understand. Discipline should
address the behavior and its underlying
causes. Incorporating positive behavioral
interventions with loss of privileges or other
consequences will do more to change
students behavior than approaches based
solely on punishment

Covert/Hidden Bullying
Hidden Bullying is a sort of bullying is often harder to recognize and can be
carried out behind the bullied person's back. It is designed to harm someone's
social reputation and/or cause humiliation. Covert bullying includes, lying and
spreading rumors, negative facial or physical gestures, menacing or
contemptuous looks, playing nasty jokes to embarrass and humiliate,
mimicking unkindly, encouraging others to socially exclude someone, or
damaging someone's social reputation or social acceptance.
Ways to prevent it: Parents must learn to reinforce their childrens positive
behavior patterns and model appropriate interpersonal interactions. School
psychologists, social workers, and counselors can help parents support children
who tend to become victims as well as recognize bullying behaviors that require
intervention.
