Tips on Preventing Cyber Bullying

Schools in Illinois are encouraged to address cyber bullying by applying the same principles found to be effective in PBIS. Scott Ross, co-author of the National Center on PBIS’ bullying prevention curriculum, recommends the following tips for cyber bullying:

Engage positive student leaders in the planning, implementation, and progress-monitoring of bullying prevention
Teach school-wide expectations for respectful online behavior
Teach a response procedure for recipients and bystanders to address disrespectful online behavior (asking someone to stop)
Teach students how to stop their own behavior when they are asked to do so
Teach students how to get help
Provide opportunities for anonymous reporting, and establish systems to nominate peers for standing up to disrespectful behavior.
