Although bullying behaviors can occur in many different contexts, classroom teachers must be equipped with the knowledge and skills to address these behaviors in a classroom setting. Every classroom can benefit from routines and structures that allow students to feel safe, valued, and able to participate fully. However, the types of routines and structures that teachers adopt often shift depending on the developmental needs of their students. Provided in this toolkit is a set of classroom-level strategies from which educators might draw to build a positive classroom climate. These strategies work best when integrated into an explicit, multi-tiered effort to improve school culture and climate, such that teachers are not doing this work in isolation of administrators, colleagues, families or other community members.
