  3. Introduction • Bullying has been around for years beyond years, but it has never been taken to the extreme as it has today • According to Berthold & Hoover, Slee, Walker, Ramsey & Gresham, “ targets of bullying may suffer greatly in terms of their social and emotional well-being, become anxious, and depressed, isolate themselves from peer groups, and avoid school for fear of being bullied” (in Integrating Bullying Prevention Into School-wide Positive Behavior Support, p.48) • With the help of school-based intervention programs, the frequency of bullying has the ability to be minimized greatly • Many theorists and practioners believe programs have already been put in place to intervene bullying, but too many tragedies are still occurring; so there needs to be more of an effective intervention

  4. Statement of Problem • Bullying has and will be a problem in this world if school-based intervention programs are not effectively put into place • Schools have not done their best to work towards eliminating this problem because we hear about new tragedies so frequently • Tragedies include suicides, depression, long and short term health effects • Unawareness is the main problem • According to Limber & Nation 2003, “not only does bullying harm both its intended victims and its perpetrators, it also may affect the climate of schools and, indirectly, the ability of all students to learn to the best of their abilities.” (p.1)

In addition, he mentions how students respond most to intervention with integrity • In the article “Understanding and Dealing with Bullying in Schools”, Smokowski & Kopasz mention strategies that were proven to transform the school climate like reaching out to victims, set clear consequences and enforce them, supervise students during breaks, engage students in activities related to bullying and create community action teams. • Young & Ward talk about incorporating literature into teaching anti-bullying

  8. Current Instructional Strategiescontinued… Review of Literature • According to the World Health Organization in 1992, “anti-bullying interventions are promoted via the Health Promoting Schools Frame particularly in Europe” • Instructional strategies have been put in place that include school-wide interventions including School-Wide Positive Behavior Support (SWPBS), The Bullying Prevention in Positive Behavior Support (BP-PBS), and The Social Skills Group Intervention (S.S. GRIN) These programs have an overall goal to promote positive social and learning environments. These also focus on the students outcomes of bullying, social relations and safety • Instructional strategies are world-wide which include countries like Italy, Canada, England, etc. • Character Education has been put in place to teach respect, morality and values.

  9. Statement of Hypothesis Integrating anti-bullying lessons and character education over a four-week period once a week 45 minutes a day with 27 third grade students at P.S. X in Brooklyn, New York will decrease anti-social behavior and increase student civility. This will be measured by integrating role play into the lessons.

  10. Method Participants • 27 3rd grade gifted students(ethnicity: 26 African Americans and 1 Asian) • 1 Teacher • 1 Principle Instruments • Consent forms • Pre-survey • Student-made performance skits • Checklist during Role Play Performance • Assessment
