Why should I do it:
To teach students how to stand up to behavior that they feel is offensive or not wanted
To Empower students
To promote self-advocacy and self-determination
To decrease bullying and bullying related issues in school
To promote a more self-reliant, responsible, and safe climate and atmosphere
To remove barriers that interfere with positive peer interactions and academics
To create a positive school climate
When should I do it:
This strategy is best utilized and taught school-wide as part of the regular rules and procedures
Teach this strategy to students several times throughout the year
When you witness or are informed of any situations that students feel bullied, annoyed, offended or
When a student seems to react to others teasing or instigation
When an awkward or odd student seems to attract a lot of criticism
When students seem to have poor interactions and frequent conflicts
When students do not know how to handle conflicts well
When students complain about bullying, being picked on, teased, etc
How do I do it:
The Stop, Walk, & Talk strategy is a great systematic program from the publication Bully Prevention in Positive Behavior Support 1, which teaches students how to deal with being bullied, bothered, teased, etc
The program consists of teaching students to use 3 simple and progressive steps: Indicating through words and gesture to stop, walking away if the problem continues, and finally talking to an adult if the issue is still not resolved.
