Quit It: A Teacher's Guide On Teasing and Bullying. This curriculum "is designed to get grades K-3 children to rethink behavior that leads to the schoolyard bully culture," Education Daily wrote in October 1998. "The trick to ridding a classroom of bullies is to get bystanders to intervene on behalf of the bullied, especially when the aggressors are young enough to unlearn the antecedents to such behavior.
The curriculum's coauthor, Nancy Mullin-Rindler, told Ed Daily: "The focus of the curriculum is on the bystanders who see the behavior" but rarely want to get involved. Adults need to keep watch for bullying and intervene consistently, she says.
This curriculum was developed in collaboration with the National Education Association by Wellesley College's Center for Research on Women, (781) 283-2510.
Bullyproof: A Teacher's Guide on Teasing and Bullying for Use with Fourth- and Fifth-Grade Students. This guide by Lisa Sjostrom and Nan Stein contains 11 sequential lessons. "Class discussions, role-plays, case studies, writing exercises, reading assignments, art activities, and nightly homework combine to give students the opportunity to explore and determine the fine distinctions between 'teasing' and 'bullying,'" says the publisher, Wellesley College's Center for Research on Women. "Children gain a conceptual framework and a common vocabulary that allows them to find their own links between teasing and bullying and, eventually, sexual harassment."
