The ABCs of Bullying
Addressing, Blocking, and Curbing School Aggression
The Steps To Respect Program
Developed by the Committee for Children, this program uses language arts and social and emotional learning and combines them in the curriculum's literature lessons, which is based on popular children's books. This program concentrates on the elementary age child, from grades 3-6.
Skills learned include:
- Coping with bullying
- General friendship skills
- Emotion management
- Bystander intervention
The Steps for Respect program emphasizes the responsibility that all members of a school community have to decrease bullying. Lessons teach empathy for targets of bullying and specific ways children can respond when they witness bullying. Children practice problem solving and emotion-management skills.
In particular, children are taught:
- How to identify bullying
- How to respond assertively
- When and how to report bullying to adults
Staff and parents learn:
- How to act on those reports
- How to respond to children who bully
- How to respond to children who are targets of bullying
