NCEA Notes

A Catholic Educator Response to Bullying
Notes by Cynthia Cox

1 in 7 school children bullied/afraid to go to school
3 types of bullying – physical, emotional, relational (boys more physical, girls more relational/emotional, but there is crossover in both)
Definition of bullying- think "RIP" – Repeated, Intentional, Power-Based
Three components: bully, target, bystanders
There is both learned bully behavior AND learned victim behavior

When bystanders become "defenders" instead – bullying is almost always reduced or eliminated, bullies cannot succeed without tacit "approval" of the group
Rarely are defending behaviors ineffective when coming from peers
Increase empathy for the target/victim
Value defender efforts
Get "high value" peers to lead

Christ-centered: Scripture-based, Inclusive, Formative not Corrective, Compassionate not Punitive
Must include help/empathy for bully as well as target
Christ as model for leadership/Dignity for all/Pure of Heart
Follow Christ's teachings for social justice
Build community/reconcile injustices/compassion and forgiveness
Importance and power of prayer/purity of heart

NCEA notes: IDEA: Benefits & Services for Parentally Placed Private School Students with Disabilities
Notes by Cynthia Cox

Children with disabilities enrolled in private schools:

Each LEA (local education agency) must "locate, identify and evaluate" all children with disabilities in private elementary and secondary schools

The LEA must spend a proportionate share of funds on testing and evaluation of children in parentally-placed private schools

Each LEA must determine within a specific time frame the methods for identifying such students and must share these methods with the private schools

"A parentally-placed child with a disability does not have an individual right to some or all of the special education and related services the child would receive if enrolled in a public school." – in other words, schools must help identify but do not have to offer services

"Those children designated to receive services may receive a different amount of services" than students with disabilities in public schools.

NCEA Notes

The Bullying/Cyberbullying Prevention Program
Notes by Cynthia Cox

The following are reports referenced in this presentation:
http://cyberbullying.us/Social_Influences_on_Cyberbullying.pdf
http://www.cyberbullying.us/FriendingStudentsonFacebook.pdf

NOTES:
-gender differences in face-to-face bullying is equalized when online, girls bullying as much as boys
-bystanders are afraid, confused, may get drawn into the bully's target zone; want to help but do not know how and do not want repercussions
-consequences of cyberbullying: detrimental to academic and social success, not just the parent's problem, affects environment of the school
-why is it so prevalent? You don't have to be big/strong, you can construct the 'perfect' insult or rumor/don't have to be quick-witted or a fast thinker to bully someone else (levels the playing field for bullies); anonymity
-where does it occur? Social networking sites, YouTube (filming bullying and uploading it, then more people pile on in the comments); instant messaging, email, online video games, text messaging

Create a climate of "upstanders" instead of "bystanders"
-only takes 2-3 strong student leaders to lead a charge of 'zero tolerance' for bullying
-cross-curricular activities addressing bullying
-student films/psa video projects
-educators should establish clear rules of computer use/ethics
-educators should generate dialogue about cyberbullying: scenarios, role play, discussion
-when a student approaches an adult about cyberbullying, it is important the adult remain calm rather than overreact
- students do not want their "lifeline" – ie, their internet access – to be taken from them even if it is done by a parent or other adult to protect them from harm, they see this as punishment, not a realistic solution to the problem

Depth and Design: developing a holistic curriculum

Jean Piaget - Soren Kierkegaard

What should every student know and be able to do ?

What are the psycho-social, cognitive , and spiritual capabilities/needs if each level in secondary schools ?

- we tend to teach the way that we learn best - you're ostracizing most of your class by doing this

What structures are in place to ensure their needs are met while "uncovering" the material?

How does a religion curriculum nurturer opportunities for interdisciplinary studies ?

What content knowledge should be emphasized and what is not paramount to an adolescent 's religious development?

Can you utilize multiple sources to achieve the same objective?

- you don't put on a "different hat" for each new course

- knowledge is fluid - it is constantly changing - nothing stays the same.

Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hzgzim5m7oU

It's how we say things that's important - language - what do we mean by what we say ? Semantics and language becomes messy.

Inside - essential to know
Outside circle - important to know
Outside Outside circle -Nice to know

Work your way out.

KEY IDEAS

* essential/enduring knowledge transcends content acquisition
- it poses questions that go beyond yes/no or basic responses (lower order processing)

*Important knowledge frames lesson/unit planning
- "as the result of this lesson,students will know A and be able to do B"

*Nice knowledge may be teacher specific
-opportunity to develop new topics

What UbD is ...
- "backwards" design - distinguishes between depth (vertical) and breadth (horizontal) when it comes to the "uncoverage" of material

- it is a methodology for documenting and emphasizing that is essential for students to know and be able to do

- we truly understand what we can - explain, - interpret , - apply

- we truly understand when we have perspective
- this is the ability to see and hear other points of view to imagine the larger issues

- we truly understand when we can empathize

- we truly understand when we have self - knowledge
* this is the act of being able to look within ourselves and reflect on why we can comprehend something

{see image in camera roll)

IDENTIFY THE DESIRED OUTCOME - if not - then it doesn't matter what tools you used

Fallacy of learning - content leads to knowledge rather than skills leading to understanding

Create your test before your lesson.

Give the final exam on the first day of school.

Assessments shouldn't be a magic trick - not a surprise , why are we still trying to trick students?

DATA ANALYSIS - refine refine refine

For Pope John faculty who would like to share notes from NCEA13...here is the easiest way that I've found. Copy your notes (just take a photo of them if you wrote by hand) and send them to the address I gave you in the email.

They will immediately post to this blog, and we can all benefit from the sessions that you attended! You might also want to share pictures from the week.
