Whether the bullying involves physical assault, isolation, verbal abuse, or group or one-on-one bullying, this informative DVD will empower you to:

· build confidence and skills
· understand more about different options and strategies
· evaluate which method is likely to be most effective in any given case of bullying

Six methods of intervention

Using actors and role-play, this DVD is ideal for staff training. It helps you make better choices about your approach and shows you how to implement strategies more effectively.

· The Traditional Disciplinary Approach
Setting out clear behaviour standards and using punishment to prevent and deter bullies from repeating their behaviour; punishment could include detention, loss of privileges, chores to be undertaken and even suspension.

· Restorative Practice
Encouraging admission of bullying by the perpetrator and stimulating genuine remorse; helping the bully take steps to restore damaged relationships.

· Strengthening the Victim
Helping and coaching students to confront a bully assertively; to stand firm and discourage the bullying behaviour through calm and controlled language;to redress the balance of perceived power.

· Mediation
Assisting the bully and the victim in resolving their differences and helping them find a peaceful win-win solution or compromise.

· The Support Group Method
Gaining the cooperation of the perpetrators by revealing to them the distress that has been experienced by the victim at a meeting in which students supportive of the victim are also present.

· The Method of Shared Concern
Empowering the bullies to assist in resolving the bully/victim problem through the use of individual and group meetings with the participants.

Ken Rigby is an international expert on peer victimisation, he has published widely in both academic and professional journals. He is the author of several books on bullying: New Perspectives on Bullying and Stop the Bullying (Jessica Kingsley) and, most recently, Children and bullying: How parents and educators can reduce bullying in schools (2008).

With this DVD you learn powerful strategies to:

• reduce incidents of chronic misbehaviour
• de-escalate, rather than escalate, the situation
• encourage pupils to make good decisions about behaviour and return to ‘on task’ behaviour

Section 1
outlines the difference between chronic and acute behaviour problems. You explore the effects of chronic issues, particularly on the teacher in terms of self-esteem, professional competence, interruption to learning, anger and frustration.

Section 2
demonstrates practical examples of ‘off task’ behaviour problems, such as fidgeting and lack of attention (disruptive and non-disruptive), agitated movement, bringing the wrong equipment, wearing the wrong uniform, calling out, leaving the seat, interrupting the learning of others by chatting or making physical contact, and refusal to comply with clear instructions.

You explore a hierarchy of responses involving:

• physical proximity
• proximity praise
• secret signals
• location change
• work order change
• rewards and consequences

Section 3
examines how to increase the level and effectiveness of your responses if chronic behaviour still persists. You explore practical examples of one-to-one conferences, planning your approach, working in partnership with colleagues, parents and carers, benchmarking behaviour and monitoring progress.

Section 4
is a question and answer session with the studio audience, and includes a final review of suggested strategies.

Total running time: 60 minutes.

Also included are handouts and useful discussion points as a pdf on the disc.

Through the DVD and the accompanying ideas and activities for discussion and writing, students will:

• identify with scenarios that mirror their own experiences
• expand their vocabulary of emotions to express and manage feelings more appropriately
• develop empathy and more easily imagine other people’s feelings
• understand, respect and respond to the feelings of others
• build more successful relationships and friendships

Each film clip runs at normal speed, as a sequence of stills and also in slow motion. The clips deliberately do not include speech. This encourages a wider range of interpretations by the student of the thoughts and feelings of the various characters portrayed.

Contents: 30 film clips covering happiness, fear, sadness, anger, surprise, motivation, calm, boredom, frustration, worry, friendliness, embarrassment, guilt, jealousy, pride, bravery, relaxation, loneliness/rejection, stress, anxiety, disgust and many more.
