The liberation teaching response to bullying.

a. Record an observation of bullying behavior, including the words and actions of all involved. Compare specifics from your observation with what the text says about the reasons for bullying and the levels of mistaken behavior shown in bullying behavior. Discuss intervention in this situation. Did you or another staff person intervene? What happened? If there was no intervention, how would you intervene in a similar situation in the future? Compare your findings and thoughts to ideas in the chapter about the liberation teaching response to bullying.

b. Interview a teacher about bullying and his response to it. Do some children seem to bully more than others? Are some children more likely to be targets? How does the teacher work with the class to prevent bullying? Work with individuals frequently involved? Compare your findings from the interview with what the text says about these questions.
