Creating and Negotiating Collaborative Spaces for SociallyJust AntiBullying Interventions for K12 Schools

Description

A volume in New Directions in Educational Leadership: Innovations in Research, Teaching, and Learning

Across the United States, schools face the daunting issue of confronting the widespread effects of bullying, which threaten the physical,

emotional, and intellectual well being and development of youth. Creating and Negotiating Collaborative Spaces for Socially Just Anti

Bullying Interventions for K 12 Schools is a theoretically and empirically grounded edited volume that describes practical ways to address

bullying at both systemic and individual levels. Central to the scope of the book is a diversity focused approach to assessing and

conceptualizing discrimination and bullying among marginalized youth, such as LGBTQ, mixed race, gifted and talented, and special needs

populations.

Interspersed with concrete, real life examples, each chapter in the volume expands on the multiple dimensions of bullying as well as

research backed anti bullying interventions. The book advances previous literature by addressing contemporary issues in bullying. Special

topics include teacher töstudent bullying, cyberbullying, restorative justice practices, and assessment of attitudes toward addressing

bullying.
