Faculty Meeting!

We got a 15 minute spotlight at the faculty meeting for November! In this meeting we shared the results of our focus groups. A nice pat on the back for our teachers, since they are the people who suggested that the term "bully" might be overused within our schools. Very few teachers were surprised when we shared that a majority of the students thought that a bully was anyone who was being mean. We asked for feedback from the teachers of what information they would like to receive as we move forward. Teachers would like to see an outline of the steps we teach our students so that they can be consistent throughout the school. They also suggested that we implement a lesson where we talk about the difference between bullying and conflict. These lesson plans will be e-mailed to the school psychologist who will review them, make any necessary edits, forward them on to the administration to be approved, and then finally the teachers will receive this perfected copy. Looks like we are ready to do some more research and a lot of work!
