Overview
Bullying is becoming more and more commonplace in the classroom, even in schools once deemed “safe.” Teaching students how to share space with others at school can positively impact behavior both in and outside the classroom.
In this module’s scenario, you will read about some ways bullying might look at your school one day. The provided setting presents three types of bullying that you must identify and discuss. Read and study the setting as you consider ways to keep bullying out of your classroom. The three types of bullying you discuss must come from this setting.
Specificity is important with this assignment; as you write your paper, you must continually ask yourself “why” and “how.” To earn full credit your paper must employ specific and quality discourse.
