<p>Bullying has reached epidemic proportions in this country, with 83% of girls and 79% of boys experiencing bullying. Classrooms, which are supposed to be a place of learning, are no safe haven, with 1 out of 5 students reporting that they have been bullied at school. Educators, administrators, and parents have tried a variety of techniques to stop bullying but those methods rarely work long-term. Why? Because bullying is much larger than the two-person dynamic typically envisioned. This innovative workbook, Those Who Bully and Those Who Are Bullied, takes a multi-pronged approach, helping each member of the school community understand the role he or she plays in encouraging, ignoring, or addressing a bullying situation and outlining the skills needed to make a difference. With a variety of specific group and individual activities, this workbook creates opportunities for discussion-giving language to define and identify the underlying emotions felt by everyone involved, tapping into compassion and understanding on all levels, and providing social skills awareness and self-esteem to empower the entire school community to be the "upstanders" needed to end classroom bullying.</p>

How do you stop a bully? With nearly one third of all school children facing some type of bullying on a regular basis, the answers  don't come easy. And, as aggressive behavior becomes more sophisticated, it becomes harder to recognize. Bullying doesn't just include physical or verbal abuse. It includes cyber and social bullying as well. The comic, How to Be a Hero, shows how to spot the  subtle signs of bullying and how to understand the direct and indirect effects on everyone involved. It also offers specific actions a person can take to address bullying. Even more importantly, How to be a Hero calls on everyone in a bullying situation to step in and change the dynamic: to be a hero. Only when everyone is accountable for being involved can we create an environment where bullying is no longer tolerated.

Bullying. It often starts young—before children can identify or express what is happening. By understanding that, we can help children learn skills to better navigate bullying situations—whether they are the ones bullying, the ones being bullied, or the bystanders. Heroes in the Classroom: An Activity Book About Bullying, based on the ORP book Classroom Heroes, provides an easy, practical, and developmentally appropriate way for parents, teachers, and administrators to begin the bullying conversation with elementary school aged children. Each page of Heroes in the Classroom depicts part of a bullying scenario, often asking children to assess the situation and describe what is happening, while challenging them to develop empathy for those involved. Carefully crafted to generate conversation in a thought provoking yet non-judgmental way, Heroes in the Classroom is an important tool that will be helpful for parents and teachers in addressing the bullying epidemic that 1 in 7 elementary school children face today.
