School staff and students deserve a safe place in which to work. For some schools violence and crime are minor issues, for others they are daily occurrences. For the majority of schools, extreme forms of violence are rare. Nonetheless, the threat of any kind of violence may keep students out of school, prevent participation in after-school events, and create an undermining climate of fear within the school.
Often, fear of violence comes at the hands of the school bully. Bullying has long been considered a natural part of growing up. Children are faced with an ever-growing number of stresses. The stress of teasing, name calling, social stigmatization and physical bullying may send a child into a severe depression, cause them to live in constant fear that the bullying will continue and, in the saddest and most desperate situation, can lead a child to commit suicide. With results like these, it is crucial that adults prevent, intervene, and assume responsibility for stopping this behavior.
The Kids on the Block Program on Bullies & School Safety is designed to create awareness of what constitutes bullying, present problem solving strategies, encourage empathy for the targets of bullies, and explore ways that students may be involved in promoting safety in their school.
The complete curriculum consists of large hand-crafted puppets,
three scripts, props,
follow-up activities and resources to teach children about bullies and
school safety.
