As kids and schools become more digitally connected, bullying is manifesting itself in ways beyond the playground. Cyberbullying is a significant issue kids can face, causing hurt and harm to school communities. Being bullied can affect kids' performance in school, relationships, and family life. Schools can take a preventative approach by stopping bullying before it starts. Dive into Common Sense Media’s free K-12 education resources that help students learn to be safe and responsible digital citizens. You'll be introduced to our cyberbullying toolkit for middle school educators, which offers key lesson plans, engaging videos, a parent outreach kit, and resource links for administrators and kids. You'll learn what students should do if they are the target of cyberbullying, as well as ways to get students to move from being "bystanders" to being "upstanders" when they witness cyberbullying. And, we'll share resources that will help you build a whole-community approach around ethics and safety with students, teachers, and parents. You'll leave with ideas and tools you can implement immediately in your school.
