No More Bystanders = No More Bullies : Activating Action in Educational Professionals

This is a book written by a school administrator for school administrators to try to make the overwhelming topic of bullying, which we deal with on a daily basis, more manageable. The book is designed to give administrators tangible actions they can implement with their staff to be proactive rather than reactive to school bullying. Unlike traditional books on bullying which have focused on educating the students, this book focuses on educating the educators about bullying and bystanderism. Bystanderism is a phenomenon where people stand idly by when bullying occurs, sometimes ignoring bullying, sometimes not recognizing bullying.Built around a 7-step framework for action, this book will help administrators develop a deeper understanding of the elements of bullying through framing the ideas in the larger realm of social sciences while at the same time providing them with tangible actions designed to address the seven stages of the bystander decision making cycle for schools.
