A Network Connecting School Leaders From Around The Globe
While it's exciting to see declining numbers, it's also important to keep the news in perspective as the data deals with "reported" bullying. Worth consideration is the issue of bullied students not always wanting to come forward, as well as schools and states not reporting all instances. New York, for example, has been criticized in the past for failing to report bullying. This winter, questions arose when a staggering 25% of Western New York schools reported zero incidents of bullying during the 2013-14 school year. The lack of bullying in those 109 schools signaled issues about the validity of the data.
Once bullying is in fact acknowledged, educators and administrators also sometimes struggle to figure out proper protocol for dealing with it. Evelyn Rowe-Cosentino, a licensed social worker and school counselor at New York City's York Prep School, recently shared some tips for addressing these issues with Education Dive.
