Editor's Notes
- Introduce yourself and thank the hosting educator. I’m ______, and it is a pleasure for me to give you an overview of H.E.A.R. today. Thank you Mr./Ms. ______________. HEAR is designed specifically for high school students to help them understand bullying and cruelty and what they can do to stop it. Why the name H.E.A.R.? We all want to know we are heard. Victims of bullying need to be heard. The bully himself or herself needs to be heard. Listening is one of the clearest ways we can show respect to another person. The H.E.A.R. presentation helps students explore how to Help Everyone Achieve Respect as they consider ways to build respect and end bullying and cruelty in their school.
- The Guard sponsors this program because we need good people and good people come from schools that are safe learning environments.
- While discussion is invited, presenters do not draw out personal stories from students. Comments and questions are directed or re-directed as needed toward the content in the student book. An educator must be present during the HEAR presentation.
- Harvard’s Making Caring Common Project Survey was developed by experts to better understand how students feel in their school environment. The survey asks students to think about safety, respect, their fear of being bullied and how connected they feel to others in the school and about their school’s values. More information can be found by visiting Harvard’s Making Caring Common website at http://isites.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=making_caring_common The H.E.A.R. website, www.projecthear.us, provides relevant resources, news and information to students, parents and educators.
- Reading Informational Text – These standards concern analyzing text. Students engage in text analysis as they interact with and discuss the text of two case studies that reveal characteristics and consequences of bullying. Writing – Students are encouraged to write their ideas and provide reasoning about character traits they feel are important, why people might bully and why so much bullying goes unreported. Students are also asked to draw on information in the book and related discussion to support their thinking about what they could have done to help the characters in the case studies. Speaking and Listening – Students participate in collaborative discussion, build on and evaluate others’ ideas, express their own ideas, and integrate multiple sources of information (PPT slides, peers’ and presenters’ words, text in book, HEAR website resources)
- Students choose a character trait and write briefly about and discuss how they feel they live this daily. They also evaluate how important they think these traits are and consider role models that demonstrate these traits or values. These traits are defined and explained to be important for everyone in all areas of life, including in the lives of 350,000 men and women who serve in the Army National Guard – whether rescuing someone after a flood or tornado, a blizzard or forest fire, or serving oversees protecting our nation.
- Case studies are used to examine what bullying might look like and its many consequences. Cyberbullying is also discussed in Michelle’s story.
- These consequences impact both the bully AND the victim. There are also consequences to bystanders and community members, such as feelings of helplessness and decline in community climate. In fact, if a school or community gets a negative reputation then people don’t want to live there or want their kids in school there. The good news is that school and community cultures can change! Just because something happens frequently doesn’t mean it is normal or acceptable.
- Reacting safely is important and reactions do not have to be complicated.
- Student contrast the core values discussed earlier to bullying in the context of power – both in close relationships and with people different from themselves. Students also revisit Mike’s and Michelle’s stories and incidents they recall from their own lives. They reflect on how they could have helped or done things differently. Discussion is intended to empower students to become leaders and change expectations. Several ideas are suggested, such as being a role model and leading initiatives to spread kindness. Each student can be the one – the one who scoots over a little to let someone else join them at the lunch table, the one who makes eye contact and smiles at someone who appears alone, the one who steps back to open their circle in a conversation to let someone enter their group - the one who makes the choice to take a stand against disrespectful behavior.
- Many people will change behavior if students AND teachers make it clear that bullying is unacceptable. Examples include: Does our school regularly survey students about whether we feel safe, respected, and cared about? Are the answers shared with students and parents? Is there a confidential way for students to report it when they feel unsafe or mistreated? Is there an adult in our school whose job it is to make sure that everyone feels safe and respected and that people treat each other well? Does our school use a program that teaches social and emotional skills like conflict resolution, showing understanding and empathy toward others, and being aware of our emotions?
- We all have the power to make a difference!
