Great tips and strategies for deveoping an anti-bully environment along with invaluable information on the issue of bullying...its causes and effects. Another outstanding book that details what schools,teachers, principals and parents need to do to design a bully-free environment is: Bully-Proofing Children: A Practical, Hands-On Guide to Stop BullyingIt actually also contains a whole curriculum on the topic that needs to be taught to our kids. Highly recommended.Buy them both.
Opened my eyes June 1, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have been working with children for a long time and this book really opened my eyes. I need good reason to change my way of thinking and Stan Davis has given me that. In addition to making some very good points, he has seen this method be successful at numerous schools. I would recommend the book to anyone that works with groups of children.
An absolute "must-have" for grade school teachers and principals everywhere. July 8, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Written by family and child therapist and school counselor Stan Davis, Where Everyone Belongs: Practical Strategies for Reducing Bullying is a highly practical guide written especially for schoolteachers and other educational professionals, yet invaluable for anyone who oversees groups of children. Now in an updated second edition, Schools Where Everyone Belongs demystifies what bullying it is and common myths about its effects, what doesn't work to combat it, and most importantly of all, classroom-tested methods that do work to stop bullying and reverse its harmful effects. "When there are inconsistent consequences for bullying, young people are likely to continue. When we have to customize a consequence for each incident, the process of discipline becomes impossibly time-consuming. Planned, rubric-based consequences take much less time to administer and thus can be used more consistently. When consequences are predictable and based on a clear rubric, young people can learn from each other's misdeeds." An absolute "must-have" for grade school teachers and principals everywhere.
