January 7, 2016Communicating effectively with a student who comes to you who feels he or she has been bullied:
- Actively listen to the student and show the child that his or her concerns are being heard.
- Make the student feel that his or her thoughts, ideas, and feelings really matter.
- The message they are giving you is clear and you understand as a teacher or staff what is really going on. Talk through the situation so the student feels secure and safe.
- Reassure the student he or she has done the right thing by coming to an adult and that you will follow up with the appropriate people.
