RESEARCH BASED INFORMATION FOR200+ REPRODUCIBLE ACTIVITIES THAT HELP EDUCATORS TAKE A BITE OUT OF BULLYING
A Research-based Book on Bullying
By Phyllis Kaufman Goodstein
The author, a school social worker in New York City and Long Island, has been an advocate for bullied middle-school children for over a decade. The material has been used in small-group counseling and individual counseling in Grades 5, 6, 7, and 8. Ms. Goodstein read more than 100 peer-reviewed articles in professional journals to gain knowledge as to where most bullying takes place, with actual percentages of the most-common sites. The sections on why bullies bully, what kind of children they target, and the effectiveness of bystander intervention is based on research translated into age-appropriate language presented in a fun and therapeutic format.
Based on empirical research this book provides a wealth of reproducible activities, informational sheets, and includes a detailed reference section.
