Anti-Bullying Month Survey Results

Yesterday at a staff professional development Ms. W, our school counselor, shared the results of our school-wide bullying survey.  Below is a summary of our data:

  • 34% of 4th graders report being teased at least once this school year
  • 31% of 4th graders report being bullied at school this year
  • 89% of 4th graders who reported bullying to an adult said that the adult solved the problem
  • Most bullying incidents involving 4th graders happened outside of school
  • 88% of 4th graders know the difference between teasing and bullying
  • 94% of 4th graders reported that they would tell an adult, stand up for someone, or do both if they saw someone being bullied
A few of my reflections:
  • Where is the bullying happening outside of school? (Follow up survey/questionnaire coming next week)
  • We need ways to support the 11% of students who do not feel the adult handled a time they told they were being bullied (issue bag, 1 to 1 check ins with a few kids).
  • Continue discussing teasing and bullying
A resource for you:  www.stopbullying.gov  <--- great activities and videos for parents and students!
