Recognizing the pervasive role bullying plays in the lives of today’s students, NEA offers a national program to engage members in bullying prevention—providing members with resources and skills to prevent student-to-student bullying, cyberbullying, sexual harassment, and sexting.
The Bullying and Sexual Harassment Prevention and Intervention Program have 3 learning objectives with accompanying modules and tailored seminars:
- Bullying Awareness
- Understanding Bullying and Sexual Harassment
- Tailored Seminars
Bullying Awareness
An awareness workshop introduces participants to NEA’s Bully Free Awareness Kit, which covers three inclusive topics: What is Bullying? How Do I Intervene?, and How Do I Advocate?
Understanding Bullying and Sexual Harassment
An interactive workshop explores four interrelated topics (bullying, sexual harassment, cyber bullying, and sexting), examines the relevance of federal and state laws and policies, and shares key resources and prevention strategies.
Tailored Seminars
Longer seminars are geared to a specific audience (e.g., education support personnel), unique issues (e.g., cyberbullying), and/or local need (e.g., planning a school-wide approach to bullying prevention). The expanded use of interactive learning and planning tools embeds knowledge and leads to enhanced follow through.
