13. HIB Prevention Training Program
Bystanders
Bystanders are important because:
–
–
–
–
Bullying most often takes place in front of peers.
Bullying almost never happens when adults are watching.
Most bystanders want to do something to stop the bully.
Bullies like an audience. If the audience shows disapproval, the bullies
are discouraged from continuing.
Bystanders can make a situation even worse by:
– instigating the bullying by prodding the bully to begin;
– encouraging the bullying by laughing, cheering, or making comments
that further stimulate the bully;
– joining in the bullying once it has begun;
– passively accepting bullying by watching and doing nothing; or
– providing the audience a bully craves.
14. HIB Prevention Training Program
Bystanders
Silence encourages bullying
– The best way to break the silence is to empower kids to feel safe
and supported when they stand up to the bullies on behalf of
other kids, or tell an adult about the bullying.
– We need to remind children that this is not tattling; it’s doing the
right thing.
Why is it bystanders don’t intervene more often?
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
None of my business
Fear of becoming a target
Feel powerless
Don’t like the target
Fear retribution
Telling adults won’t help or may even make it worse
Don’t know what to do
15. HIB Prevention Training Program
Support Staff Members
Bullying is more likely to occur in less structured settings
often those with limited adult supervision, such as
hallways, playgrounds, locker rooms, cafeterias, and on
school buses.
At times, school support staff members are more likely to
be present in these locations than teaching staff.
Support staff members also interact with students on a
different level and can have of insight and provide
feedback into a student’s behavior or into an incident
that has occurred.
Some students may be more inclined to report incidents
of bullying to support staff members.
16. HIB Prevention Training Program
Appropriate and Effective Intervention Strategies
Appropriate and effective interventions always include:
Immediately responding to the incident using a calm, rational,
but firm tone of voice
Using body language that communicates authority, but does
not invade the personal space of any student involved in the
incident
Actions or verbal responses that do not cause embarrassment
or a loss of emotion, or provoke vulnerable and/or overly
sensitive reactions
17. HIB Prevention Training Program
Appropriate and Effective Intervention Strategies
Appropriate and effective interventions always include:
Positioning yourself between the students using bullying
behavior and the student being bullied, so that you can block
eye contact between the two to prevent gestures that would
allow continued victimization or escalation of the incident.
Taking the attention off the student(s) who was being targeted.
Paying close attention to the student or students who were
being targeted: taking notice of their actions and reactions,
words, body language, and any behavior or expression that
communicates fear for their own safety and/or verbalizes a
retaliation plan towards the bully.
18. HIB Prevention Training Program
Appropriate and Effective Intervention Strategies
Appropriate and effective interventions always include:

witnessed the incident, as well as those involved
Informing all students involved in the incident of what steps you
will take next, and that you will be reporting this incident to the
administration
Supporting and following up with all students involved in the
incident
Monitoring future behaviors
Verbalizing future behavioral expectations that will not permit
retaliation of any kind
19. HIB Prevention Training Program

Accepting the attitudes of “just teasing”, “just kidding”, “boys
will be boys”, “you’re friends, you can work it out”
Engaging in verbal or physical arguments/disputes
20. HIB Prevention Training Program

creed, national origin, and sex is illegal.”

24. 2 Types of Sexual Harassment
“Quid Pro Quo.” This for that.
E.g. a supervisor wants to date you, and in return
you will get the promotion.
Hostile Environment (Work or Learning)
The behavior is severe, repeated, or widespread; a
reasonable person of the same sex would agree
that the behavior changed the conditions of
employment.
E.g. repeated unwelcome sexual comments make
you so uncomfortable, it affects your job.
25. Examples of Sexual Harassment
Constantly invites you for drinks, dinners, dates;
Invades your personal space;
Makes obvious sexual gestures at you;
Asks questions about your personal & sexual life;
Writes, draws, and or sends pictures, cartoons,
cards, etc., which are sexually offensive to you;
