I. Bullying Prevention Plans for Mass. Schools

Please Note: 3/11 You may have noticed recently that the Mass. DESE is starting to actually review plans and following up with those public schools who have not submitted one. This media attention may prompt questions to you from members of your community about your plan. You shoud be prepared to answer those questions and to share your plan (should be on your web site).

 • Go to Massachusetts Bullying Prevention Law, AISNE Guide, and Resource links to read AISNE memos, download the law,  and model plans and link to other resources on bullying.

 • Bullying: In a Swedish study of bullying "sixty-nine percent said bullies were at fault, because of their own psychological problems or need to boost their social standing. But 42 percent said the victims brought their torment on themselves because they didn’t fit in." [emphasis added: SC] The authors conclude that, “Teenagers explain bullying significantly more in individualistic terms, that is, the bully or victim is to blame, than in non-individualistic terms where peers, school or society are to blame… Bullying prevention efforts should investigate and target teenagers’ conceptions of the causes of bullying.” For more go to Globe 11-22-10 G or Science News.

To that end, AISNE sponsors a variety of events during the year, such as our School Fair to Promote Diversity, our High School Students of Color Conference, our Fall Diversity Conference, Dinner Meetings for Diversity Professionals, and our Middle School Student Diversity Conference and Students of Color Conference. AISNE has also published three different pieces about aspects of diversity in schools. See the resources at the link below.
