These materials offer an online course for teachers to assist in understanding bullying and harassment in schools. The course takes 2 – 3 hours to complete online and can be done all at once or in several sessions. You will need a connection to the internet to complete the course.

This course does not focus on individual bullying problems, but instead on a school-wide approach to bullying. Recent research has indicated that involving an entire school and the extended community is a more effective method of addressing bullying than just dealing with single incidents or providing course materials in particular classes. The method described in this course is based in recent research. It helps teachers to strategize within their schools about how to combat bullying, given the individual strengths and weaknesses of their particular school environment.

This course can also be presented at a PD Day or conference by a trained Human Rights Educator from the Alberta Civil Liberties Research Centre. This is a free service funded by the Alberta Law Foundation. For more information, contact us at 403-220-2505 or .
