Funded Activity Summary

Countering the bullies : action research on policy change and teacher re-education through innovative and pro-active techniques in schools. Bullying is a major and intractable problem of contemporary schooling. Systemic policy is reactive and imposed on teachers and students. This project aims to effect change by implementing and evaluating an innovative, grass-roots, whole-school approach to bullying through the normal curriculum which empowers teachers and students to address bullying pro-actively. The proposed use of action research places the responsibility for confronting bullying in the hands of the school community. The major outcome will be a system-wide and eventually nation-wide redefinition of bullying policy, and revised structures and practices in schools for bullying management by an alliance of teachers and students.
