Bullying in School is still a very real issue...

Boy bullied

Dear Educator,


As a former elementary school principal, I know firsthand that bullying is not a new problem. For years, I watched students struggle with teasing, exclusion, intimidation, and the hurt that can follow a child long after the incident is over. I also remember how difficult it could be for school leaders and teachers to know exactly what to do—especially when bullying happened quietly, away from adult eyes.


This article details how to respond to bullying, a direct response sample of a bullying incident and what doesn't work.

“This was a great course. I like how it outlined what the terms for bullying were and how it could better help me understand how to handle a potential bullying situation.” – Lindsay Bellina

“This course has taught me that the consequences of bullying are not the only school mandated and enforced by the teacher but also that the state and even federal government plays a role in ensuring students feel safe at school.” – C. Riddle

Do you know how many bullying incidents happen at your school each year?


It can be difficult to know the true scope of bullying and other playground incidents without tracking the data. The Playground Report gives you concrete information about what is happening during recess—helping you identify patterns, measure the frequency of incidents, and understand where additional support may be needed.


Instead of saying, “We have a bullying problem,” you can show the data. Use your playground reports to build a clear picture of student behavior and safety, share measurable results with administrators and your school community, and provide the evidence needed to support decisions and funding for a stronger recess program.
