Each day in America, it is estimated that 160,000 students stay home from school to avoid being bullied. Bullying is a growing problem in our schools. The good news is that it is a problem that many teachers can help tackle by creating a bully-free classroom, something that is easier to do than one might think.
“We all know that bullying is a major concern in our schools,” explains Peter J. Goodman, author of the book “We’re All Different But We’re All Kitty Cats.” “But there are things teachers can do to help address this problem and prevent it from happening.”
Goodman has now bundled his popular book with an educational curriculum package, which helps children identify and work through their emotions and feelings.
“Being able to integrate a bullying curriculum into the classroom is an effective way to help tackle this problem,” says Julia Anderson, Ed.D, a primary school teacher at Arlington Public Schools. “The subject needs to be there at every level during the elementary school years so that the foundation has been laid.”
Bully Free Students Make Bully Free Classrooms has been designed for pre-K through grade 3 students to help teachers create a bully-free classroom.
