THINGS TEACHERS CAN DO TO PREVENT
BULLYING
Source4Teachers
INTRODUCTION
 Headquartered in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, Source4Teachers
recruits talented substitute educators and connects them to
school districts looking to fill temporary classroom vacancies.
Building on its passion for helping students reach their potential,
Source4Teachers also supports a number of charitable initiatives,
including Kids Bridge, which focuses on preventing bullying.
According to StopBullying.gov, an anti-bullying resource managed
by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, more than
70 percent of students say they have witnessed bullying in
school. Here are some things you can do to prevent this as a
teacher.
1. Understand the school district’s policies on bullying so you
have complete certainty in any disciplinary action you take. This is
particularly crucial for substitutes, who may work across multiple
districts with different guidelines.
BULLYING
 2. Intervene in bullying situations
immediately and separate the students so
each can be spoken to individually about
what happened. Forcing an on-the-spot
apology may prevent you from getting to the
root cause of the issue.
3. Set a good example by treating students
with respect, while also making it clear that
you are available to talk at any point.
