What is bullying? What are the roles we see in a bullying situation? What can we do to help reduce the incidence of bullying in schools and on social media and to arm students with the social skills to help them avoid becoming victims? Alain Pelletier joined us for this episode to talk about his work in schools to raise awareness around bullying.
Alain is a professional Canadian public speaker. Since 2008, he has given over 1400 conferences, presentations, and workshops on bullying to over 900 schools.
Our Guiding Question was, “How can we recognize bullying? What can educators, parents, and other students do to prevent it? How can they respond to it when it happens?”
Here are a few of the topics that Alain spoke to regarding bullying:
- He uses a role-playing skit format to connect to his audiences emotionally.
- His skits take his audiences through the story arc of the bullying experience for students.
- The five roles that individuals can take in the bullying process.
- Victimization is a complex concept.
- When and where bullying takes place.
- Differentiating the bully from the behavior.
- Signs that a student is being bullied.
- Support strategies
- Social networking and bullying
