Excellent Eagle Presentations
School: No Place for Bullys*
A Comprehensive Program for Bully Prevention
Colonel Matthews helps listeners understand their responsibility to report all incidents of bullying to an adult. Bullies thrive when they can operate unopposed. This Custom 45 minute Power Point presentation defines bullying along with the roles of the victim, the bystander, and the adults in the system. This program is most appropriate for grades 3-8 and is designed for presentation to a large or small group. The presentation is 'customized' for the school and its Student Code of Conduct. All students leave with a "Student Complaint Form" to use whenever someone bothers them. Administrators will recieve a template for a brochure outlining the school's plan to deal with bullying to share with parents. Teachers will receive an email template to use in reporting any complaints made to them. Teachers would be strongly encouraged to submit the information. Principals will also receive an Excel template to document student complaints and the patterns/trends to look for in bullying behavior. Principals will also receive suggested Student Code of Conduct language outlining how the campus will respond to incidents of bullying. Colonel Matthews will also meet with administrators, teachers, and parents to outline the components of a successful, comprehensive Anti-Bully Program. CONSULTATION: Have your Bully Prevention Program evaluated before school starts! *Intentionally mispelled.
