Bullying
By: Daniel Gray
Strategies
Teach SEL and emotional regulation. Help students to develop their expressive and emotional skills so that they can stand up for themselves and better share their emotions.
Spend time with students after class and build relationships. Spend time observing student dynamics before and after class to notice signs of bullying behaviors.
-
Employ growth mindset and encourage students who stand up and share. Encourage and praise vulnerability and emotional growth.
Organize and plan activities that build self-esteem. Ensure that students feel encouraged and emotionally supported.
Create safe spaces and ensure that students know how to access extra resources like art therapy or sports or general therapy to get help.
Discuss safe ways for students to report and encourage students to speak up on behalf of themselves or others if they know or witness such behavior.

Strategies for teachers
Treat the student as normal. A serious illness translates into certain special needs; however, they can still reach their full potential, and should be encouraged to do so. Educating the class may help to mitigate any bullying and increase student understanding
-
Be understanding of problems. A student dealing with significant pain might not really care about the grade they make on that big test. Understand that medications, pain, fatigue and other issues can make it seem as though they aren't trying their best – but they probably are.
Learn about your student's health issue. Showing that you know a little bit about what your students has been diagnosed with shows that you care and want to learn more about them.
Simplify exam or project instructions. Medications and treatments can make it hard to concentrate and focus, so breaking down instructions into easier to understand chunks may be necessary
Be as inclusive as possible. Acknowledge that a student with a serious illness is different and needs special attention. But try to include them with anything the class does. Socialization can be extremely beneficial for a student suffering from a serious illness.
Be ready to listen. Even students without a serious illness will sometimes share things with teachers that they don't share with their parents. Being a sounding board can help eliminate some of the intense stress the student is under.
