For me, personally, I wonder how much formal “prep” is enough when it comes to an issue like this. I mean, how can experiencing bullying in your own classroom shake up your understanding of the issue? Don’t students change, grow, and mature? Are the same strategies going to work in every classroom. This is why I feel it’s so very important to keep growing and developing as a teacher in order to expand the ways we deal with bullying in the classroom. This issue is in no way going to fix itself, and it’s by constant reflection and reevaluation of our teaching methods in the classroom that we can hopefully see real change.
