Every October, schools and organizations across the country join STOMP Out Bullying™ in observing World Bullying Prevention Month. The goal: encourage schools, communities and organizations to work together to stop bullying and cyberbullying and put an end to hatred and racism by increasing awareness of the prevalence and impact of all forms of bullying on all children of all ages.
Students will research their chosen area of bullying (physical bullying, online bullying, bulllying specific groups of people).
Students will make a campaign (video, brochure, poster, story, Prezi or podcast) to help stop bullying.
In 2014, the Centers for Disease Control and Department of Education released the first federal definition of bullying. The definition includes three core elements:
unwanted aggressive behavior
observed or perceived power imbalance
repetition or high likelihood of repetition of bullying behaviors
This definition helps determine whether an incident is bullying or another type of aggressive behavior or both.
