One Teacher's Approach to Gender Bullying Prevention
Posted on Wednesday, 21 December 2011
Click here for a Wisconsin teacher's inspiring example of primary prevention in an elementary classroom.
"My job is not to judge, but to teach, and I can’t teach if the students in my class are distracted or uncomfortable. My job is also about preparing students to be a part of our society, ready to work and play with all kinds of people. I found that teaching about gender stereotypes is another social justice issue that needs to be addressed, like racism or immigrant rights, or protecting the environment."
