Bullying Awareness Week

November 15-19 is Bullying Awareness Week. Need some ideas for raising awareness in your classroom or with your colleagues?

The Brock Library has access to the Information Center on Cyber Bullying. This is a searchable information center on cyber bullying made accessible by Ebrary. Includes e-books, posters and a variety of other resources.

There are lots of books in the Library on Bullying in schools.

Some useful e-books:

Bullying prevention: creating a positive school climate and developing social competence [electronic resource]

Stop the bullying: a handbook for schools [electronic resource]

Shaping a culture of respect in our schools: promoting safe and healthy relationships (Ontario Ministry of Education) [electronic resource]

And check out some great websites about bullying in my Delicious links.
