COFACE – FAMILIES EUROPE is a European School Education Platform supportive partner. It is a network promoting the wellbeing, health and security of families and their members in a changing society, and serves as a trusted entity for family mainstreaming and for the voice and needs of families in the EU and beyond. COFACE Families Europe is rooted in six core values: non-discrimination; equal opportunities; respect of human rights; empowerment; social inclusion; solidarity. Its e-learning course entitled “School Bullying Management – Effective Skills for Educators” leads educators to discovering useful insights into the causes, expressions, and effects of bullying, as well as clear guidelines on how to prevent and tackle bullying in school communities.
Register for the course (see instructions here) and take part in an asynchronous online group activity!
Steps:
Educators read bullying-related scenarios reflecting different forms of bullying (verbal, physical, online, exclusion, teacher-student dynamics). The scenarios are in this Padlet.
You are kindly invited to select a few scenarios and reflect on:
- type of bullying involved;
- causes and effects;
- how it aligns with what has been learned in the course.
Then, develop a practical intervention/prevention strategy (immediate/long-term response, involvement of stakeholders - students, teachers, parents – etc.).
Next, comment constructively on at least one plan using these guided questions: What works well? What could be improved? Any other suggestions?
Finally, post a short written or audio reflection on the scenario(s) chosen at the beginning using these guided questions: What did you learn from the scenario and from what other peers have written? What can you apply in your school context? What further support might you need?
Thank you for being part of this!
WE’RE SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU ON BOARD! LET’S LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE TOGETHER!
