STRATEGIES TO COPE WITH BULLYING IN THE CLASSROOM

WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE BEING BULLIED

If you are being bullied, it is important to remember that you are not alone. Unfortunately, bullying is all too common in today's classrooms. It is often difficult to know what to do in this situation, but there are a few steps that you can take to help you cope with the bullying. 

i. Firstly, try to remain calm; bullying is about making the person feel bad, and showing that it does not bother you is the best way to take the power away from the bully. 

ii. Secondly, if you can, walk away. By turning and walking away, you show that you won't give in to the bully's taunts and can help to de-escalate the situation. 

iii. Finally, reach out to someone you trust. Whether it is a friend, a teacher, or an administrator, talking to someone you trust can help you feel less isolated.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU WITNESS BULLYING 

It can be intimidating to stand up to bullies when you witness them in action, but speaking up is often the most effective way to stop the bullying. Here are a few tips for standing up to a bully: 

i. Remain calm. A heated response won't help the situation.

ii. Speak out. Let the bully know that their actions are wrong, and that they should stop.

iii. If necessary, offer help. Ask the person being bullied if they need help, and let the bully know that others don't approve of their behavior.

iv. Report the bullying. If the behavior continues, be sure to report it to a teacher, administrator, or other trusted adult. 

HOW TO CREATE A POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT IN THE CLASSROOM 

Bullying will not stop until we create a culture in our classrooms that celebrates acceptance and diversity. Here are a few ways you can help foster a positive environment:

i. Make sure everyone is included. In order to create an environment of acceptance, everyone should be made to feel welcome and included. 

ii. Encourage respect. Respectful behavior should be encouraged and practiced in the classroom, and students should be reminded that bullying is not acceptable. 

iii. Provide support. Create a safe, supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable to express their ideas and opinions.

iv. Be a role model. Be a good role model for your students, and practice what you preach. 

By following these steps, we can create classrooms where everyone feels respected and accepted.

OPERATING A QUALITATIVE PRIVATE SCHOOL: ESSENTIAL DOS AND DON'TS

Do:

1. Develop a Vision and Mission Statement: A strong, well thought out vision and mission statement sets the tone for a successful school. This can help define the school's purpose, educational philosophy and objectives. Involving faculty, staff, students, and community members in the creation of this statement can lead to a greater sense of collaboration and ownership.

2. Establish Quality Standards: Quality standards should be set in regards to curriculum, staff development, student learning and professional service. Quality private school management should be dedicated to identifying and continuously improving these standards to ensure educational excellence.

3. Create an Effective Marketing and Communications Strategy: Quality marketing and communications are essential to ensure the success of a private school. It is essential to create strategies to promote the school's values and mission, as well as different programs and activities. Properly managing relationships with parents, alumni and the community can also be beneficial to the school’s success.

4. Facilitate an Active Learning Environment: Active learning environments, in which students are actively engaged and involved, can have a positive impact on learning outcomes. It is important to provide a variety of activities that promote different kinds of learning, such as project-based learning, student-led discussions, and service-based activities.

5. Enhance Teacher Engagement: Teachers who feel valued and encouraged to work in teams can have greater impacts on student learning and academic performance. Establishing clear communication protocols between teachers, staff and administrators, providing on-going training and support are just some of the ways to facilitate a more engaged teaching environment.

Don't:

1. Overlook the Necessity of a Strategic Plan: Although many private schools tend to lean towards a more informal structure, regular strategic planning is essential to properly manage all school operations. A well-crafted plan, which outlines school objectives and how they will be achieved, is essential to managing school practices and resources effectively.

2. Be Restrictive in Scheduling: Effective schedules that allow students to explore different interests and subject areas can be beneficial to learning outcomes. While some levels of structure must be maintained in order to ensure educational objectives are met, it is also important to provide flexibility to allow students to pursue their own learning.

3. Neglect Professional Development: Professional development is necessary for teachers, staff and administrators to stay up to date with best practices, new trends, and technologies. Encouraging these personnel to attend workshops, conferences and other events allows them to stay on top of their field and apply the best practices to their work. 

4. Sacrifice Sufficient Resources: Limited resources can be detrimental to a quality school. Allocating funds and personnel to support the school’s vision and mission statements is necessary to ensure quality standards are met and new growth opportunities are pursued.
