A recent press release declares "Ontario is the first province in Canada to require all school staff to report serious student incidents — including bullying — to the principal."
As of February 1st this year, Ontario has enacted new reporting measures as part of the overall Keeping Our Kids Safe at School Act. This new legislation, combined with awareness and knowledge, will ensure any inappropriate behaviour is nipped in the bud and will help create a culture of respect.
Learn more about how Ontario's school system is making classrooms a more positive place to learn by reading the original announcement.
How much do your students (and their parents) know about bullying? Do they know what to do if they, or someone else, is being bullied? The difference between male and female bullying? Cyber-bullying? See pages 280-281 in Healthy Active Living for an overview of the concepts discussed.
