Counseling Corner Updates!
This month in Counseling Class, we will be discussing bullying: what it is, how to report it, how to stand up for yourself, and the Bystander Power . We will also be informing students about a district-wide initiative: Speak Up Speak Out (SUSO). SUSO is a state of Wisconsin program where students can anonymously report if they see something of concern. Ask your child for more information or go to https://speakup.widoj.gov/ to find out more.
Kindergarten: Bystander Power-One reason students bully is for the effect it has on bystanders. Students can gain social status through bullying by looking tough or cool, making others laugh, or showing that they have power. Because of the power differential in bullying, students have a limited ability to make it stop. Because bullying often pays off in social or other ways, it can be hard to change the behavior of students who bully. But research shows that changing how bystanders react is a powerful way to reduce bullying. In this lesson’s Skill Practice section, students learn ways bystanders can help stop bullying. Here is the Home link for this lesson.
