Focus of Group: This group will be meeting to discuss what the different forms of
bullying look like and what students can do if they experience or witness bullying
within their school. Evidence from student surveys has shown that while some
students believe bullying to be a problem at their school, there are others that are
uncertain about what the different forms of bullying mean and the effects it has on
other students. Being familiar with what to do in these situations can help to foster
a happy and healthier educational environment that will be more fostering for all
students to succeed.
Goal: The aim of this group is to help students to become familiar with the different
forms of bullying and techniques for addressing it to prevent students from missing
school.
Number of Students: The hope is to have six to ten student participants in the
group. Students can sign up themselves or may be referred by school staff.
Grade Level: This group would be provided for both 7 th and 8th grade students.
Adult Leader: A school counselor who can facilitate the group and is familiar with
strategies for dealing with bullying situations.
Number of Sessions: There will be four sessions that meet weekly during the
lunch period.
Description of Group:
Activity: Students will create lists of times they have been bullied or seen
others been bullied. Questions will include: have you seen someone physically be
bullied? Emotionally? Sexually? Via technology?
Discussion: The group will discuss the fact that bullying can occur in a wide
range of forms. It is important that students be able to recognize what bullying is
and the influence it has on the school atmosphere. During these discussions it
should be encouraged that names are not used as to ensure private occurrences are
not made in to public matters.
Discussion: The discussion will focus on who to talk to about bullying and
when to speak up. There will also be time dedicated to covering what are not
appropriate responses to being bullied.
Relevant Data: 18% of students have missed at least one day of school
because of being bullied.
Activity: Students will participate in role plays of groups of four: one student
will be a bully, one will be bullied, one will be an outside student who steps in, and
one will be a bystander who does nothing.
Discussion: Following the role play, students will discuss what it was like
during their time in each of the roles. Conversation will focus around what was
helpful in the moment and what each student is capable of doing to help the
situation.
Process Data: Six to ten students will meet once a week for four weeks.
Perception Data: 100% of students will be comfortable identifying bullying.
Students will also be able to discuss specific ways to address bullying.
Outcome Data: The number of students who miss school due to bullying will
drop from 18% to 0% by the end of the next school year.
