https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx What should be your role as a teacher when you hear a student verbally or physically harassing another student? How could you appropriately support the victim of abuse? en-us 2017-09-18 00:52:26 UTC 2026-03-13 07:54:20 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/188327821 How to put this? First of all, I am against harassment, all types. This is a very delicate and difficult topic. I would like to understand why is it that this occurs? My role as a teacher is to protect my students, and I would take immediate action and report it to the principal. My best way to support the victim of abuse, would be by reassuring the student that he/she is not alone. I would offer the student to speak to the school's counselor, and talk with the parent might be helpful.]]> 2017-09-18 05:28:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/188327821 https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/188540043 As a teacher i would verbally address their attention and if they do not stop i would come and separate the two and tell them this is not acceptable in my class and put them to do different types of exercise so they can reflect on what they did wrong and not to do that in my class again.I would try to give the victim of abuse some tips on how to stop this and for him to be the better person and just to come with me when it happens again to not to be afraid to come to me. ]]> 2017-09-18 16:04:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/188540043 https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/188540882 My role as a teacher when I hear or see another student who  is being harassed would be to protect them and talk to the person that is harassing them because they might have problem that they need to get out their anger out and speak to someone about it. Then I would talk with the kid being harassed for not speaking up for himself and have parents come in to sit down and discuss the problem. If we can put the kids in counseling that would be best for them to have someone to talk to and express their feelings out.]]> 2017-09-18 16:06:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/188540882 https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/188710419 My role as a teacher whenever I hear or see this type of behavior in my class would be to come into conclusions with each student. I'd separate them, take them outside of class, talk to each one and find out what was the situation. I'd have them fix the problem before entering the room again, but if it does get out of hand, I'd take them to the front office so that they may talk about it because I do have a class to attend to. Teachers are basically the students' second parents. We as teachers see the other side to students that the parents do not see because they act one way at home and another in public. I would try and fix a problem so that I can get back to teaching because one: I have a class going on and two: that type of behavior will not be tolerated in my classroom. As for the victim, s/he has the right to speak up. I, for one, consider it a must that I gain my students' trust. If something is bothering a student, even if I didn't have them as one of my students, they should all feel comfortable to come to me and speak up. I will be honored to help them out because nobody deserves to feel hurt or pain in any way. School should be a second home for students; a safe place to learn, and if it's not then they won't want to come to school. I will make it my priority to not only teach the material, but to protect the students and make them feel comfortable in school.]]> 2017-09-19 01:07:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/188710419 https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/189314872 I think my role as a teacher is to discipline the bully. He/she needs to understand that bullying is not allowed or tolerated. I would also have a parent-teacher conference with the students parents asking them if they would have any idea why their child is misbehaving and taking it out on other children. I would also talk to the victim and see if he/she is okay because words now a days do have a huge impact on the children.]]> 2017-09-20 13:38:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/189314872 https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/189563905 I don't think bullying is being appropriatly handled. My role as their teacher is to talk to them both personally. A bully usually has something that he/she needs to talk about, maybe something thats going on at home. Telling them stories about bullies who led children to commit suicide should be told, telling them about the parents not having their child anymore. Asking them why they think its okay to be a bully. And the other child i would talk to them and try to explain to them that they shouldnt be discouraged by one person. If they feel the need to talk to a counselor i would send them. If they didn't want to be near that person anymore i would listen. The best thing to do is listen to the children. They need all our love and encouragement.

Since I want to be a Pre-Kinder teacher, for the child who is harrasing, I would try to talk to them and tell them that what they are doing is wrong. Other ways I can get the child to understand what is happening is showing videos or reading books on the topic and emphasizeing that what is being done is hurting the other person. I would also let the parents know so they can talk to the child at home and if the problem doesn't stop, I would set up a meeting with parents, and school principal or counselor to find a solution to why the child is behaving that way. As for the child who is being harrased, I would talk to them and tell them that I am there to help and maybe try to turn things around with the harrasing. For example if they are being bullied for their name, I'll let them know that their name is beautiful, unique and shouldn't be ashamed, in other words let them feel special. ]]> 2017-09-21 02:02:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/189584988 https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/189863880 When I hear or see a student verbally or physically harass another student, I will immediately go report the incident to school officials. Students are supposed to feel safe at school and that would be my priority. As a teacher I would attempt to eliminate bullying and harassment as much as I can by referring my students to any anti-bullying program the school offers. I would also express my concern in changing what students think is normal behavior related to bullying to other teachers, administrators and the students parents.]]> 2017-09-21 17:31:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/189863880 https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/190183113 As a teacher if I were to ever hear a student verbally or see a student physically harassing another student I would put an immediate stop to it and be taken care of in the appropriate matter. There would be no tolerance for bullying allowed in my classroom. in my classroom I would love to teach my students the importance of being nice to one another eliminate any signs of bullying show every student how good of a feeling it is to be nice to one another. I can appropriately support the victim of the abuse by talking with the student being a beloved caring teacher as much as I can be also letting the school take care of the problem and letting them know what happened in the classroom and letting the other student who was doing he harassing that what they did was wrong and fixing the problem between the students.]]> 2017-09-22 15:38:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/190183113 https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/190326164 If I were a teacher and I heard a student verbally or physically harassing another student, I would immediately take action. I would take the bully to the office, report him, bring in the parents and talk to both parents and students and talk to them about how bullying isnt permitted. I would call in the victim and their parents and ask that the bully apologize. Kids, especially when their young, dont know better which is why it is our job to teach them to not be a bully and get along with all of them. To support the victim of abuse, I would make sure the student feels better and isnt still upset. I would give the student and their parents an apology because no student should be treated like that.

They both are having troubles, and you cannot just automatically get mad at the student that is bullying because they are having a hard time. For one I would start off with separating the students and letting administration know. Getting the parents involved would take a big step to understand and solve why there is even bullying between the students. After I would have the bully apologize because there is no need for bullying, and there is also 0 tolerance in bullying. The student who was abused, I would make sure that they know that I as a teacher took automatic action to make sure they are always safe in my classroom. The students would be separated and kept an eye one to assure that there is no more bullying going on.]]> 2017-09-23 04:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/190333673 https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/190425920 As a teacher of these students I would take immediate action and stop the bullying as soon as possible. Then, I would talk to both students the aggressor and the victim to get both their stories to better analyze the situation. Bullying has been a problem surrounding our society for so long and it leads to bad decisions and even people or student committing suicide. When I talk to the aggressor, I would let him know the importance of stopping bullying once and for all. Take both of them to some counseling classes and proceed from there. I was actually a victim of bullying myself at an early age. Since I came from Mexico when I was about 5 years old the students would make fun of me because I didn't speak a word of english. Luckily for me, it never affected me in the long run but my parents actually went to school to address the issue. Bullying is and has been a major issue involving students everywhere in the United States let's make an effort to stop it completely for the success and well being of our future students!

It should be one of our priorities to make sure all our students feel safe. The first thing I would do, like I already said, would be intervene. I would also make sure both children go talk to a counselor. One for being harassed, and the other child for harassing. The student that is being harassed, maybe is scared to say he is being bullied by his classmates, and it would be a lot of help if they talk to someone they can trust. The student who is being a bully, might have some issued themselves. Maybe there are problems at home, and they do not know how to act to get the attention of others. I would also follow up with these students, just to make sure that none of this is happening again.]]> 2017-09-23 20:44:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/190471302 https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/190477323

After making sure the student is fine, I would continue with the offender. I personally don't like to make anybody feel ashamed. So even when the offender's actions were so wrong, I would address him in private. I would talk to him out of the classroom, and I would make him explain the reason behind his actions. I would explain to him that I will not be tolerating such behavior at any giving moment, and therefore there will be consequences. I would then contact the principal and explain the situation and I would contact the parent of both students to arrange an immediate meeting to let them be aware of the incident and of the repercussions of such actions. In the following days. I would make sure the student who was victim of harassment can regain his confident in the classroom and make sure he feels safe at all times. ]]> 2017-09-24 21:30:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/190625800 https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/190652340 As a teacher, it is your duty to know what is going on with your students. If you see ay signs of bullying, you need to get in contact with the students and get each one of their perspectives. The classroom must be no tolerance for bullying zone. I expect my students to come and see me about anything that might be bothering them. If this continued, I'd get the parents involved and would suggest counseling for the bully. These are just kids with stuff going on that makes them lash out at others to avoid their problems. We need to not only help the student being bullied, but the bully as well!]]> 2017-09-25 02:09:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/190652340 https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/191345071 My role as a teacher should start by educating that differences in people and actions have consequences, their young minds cannot understand if and when and how to handle situations they dont understand. Ignorance and culture of parenting usually starts at home so punishing them for what they dont understand doesn't solve anything. Ask why did you say that to him, or what did you feel when you hit the other student. Of course there are protocalls to everything but , i cant say enough about having open conversations of the root of their actions , many times it's misguided and not acknowledgement of students, they want to heard and paid attention, so praise is high on priority list, then the normal channels of rules should be enforced.]]> 2017-09-26 16:31:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/gwzqs5q7h2mx/wish/191345071
