Bullying in schools has been an issue that has affected students since the 1970’s (Tsiantis
et al., 2013). There are interventions that can help prevent bullying within the classroom such as
the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program, and the KiVa Bullying Prevention Program.
The purpose of this study is to survey teachers about their knowledge of bullying and
how to prevent it as well as how they feel bullying affects the students they work with and what
interventions they have tried to help prevent bullying.
Survey research was used to conduct this study. Surveys were sent to 25 teachers at an
elementary school. 9 teachers responded to the survey. The teachers included both general
education and special education who teach grades K-6. Teachers who were familiar with
intervention strategies were asked to explain what interventions they have tried. A feelings dry
erase board where a student could rate the intensity of their feelings and also explain on the
board was one strategy used. Cool down pass and sand timers to complete task given, visual
checklist on desk for procedures, and preferential seating were among other strategies used in the
classroom.
This study emphasizes the need for teacher resources to help them prevent bullying in
their classroom. Bullying affects student development in all areas, which is why it was
important to the researcher to investigate this topic and provide a teacher handbook that includes
lots of resources for teachers to utilize.
