The Use of Supplemental Resources
• Other resources should be viewed as supplemental. They should NOT– supplant required Olweus program
materials, or – be introduced until school staff are
familiar with and have made use of required resources
![Page 126: Olweus bully prevention master](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062307/554dc6bcb4c905bd488b5181/html5/thumbnails/126.jpg)
Strategies to Encourage the Use of Required Materials
• Actively encourage the use of required resources such as the Teacher Handbook and Bullying at School
• Have Staff Discussion Groups review one chapter per meeting
• Staff may be “assigned” to create questions for discussion
![Page 127: Olweus bully prevention master](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062307/554dc6bcb4c905bd488b5181/html5/thumbnails/127.jpg)
Why Specific Supplemental Materials Generally are Neither Endorsed Nor
Forbidden by the Olweus Group
• An issue of volume• Few could be endorsed unequivocally; it
matters how they are used • Good annotated compilations exist• Schools benefit from reviewing materials
themselves• If endorsed, materials may tend to
supplant required resources
![Page 128: Olweus bully prevention master](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062307/554dc6bcb4c905bd488b5181/html5/thumbnails/128.jpg)
Exceptions...
• Quit It is a recommended resources for K-3
• Use of the following are discouraged:– complete curricula (e.g., Bully Proofing
Your School)– other comprehensive programs (e.g.,
Steps to Respect)
![Page 129: Olweus bully prevention master](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062307/554dc6bcb4c905bd488b5181/html5/thumbnails/129.jpg)
Guidelines for Use of Supplemental Materials
• Consider:– Does the resource bill itself as a bullying
prevention program?– Would it likely be viewed as a complete
bullying prevention program?– Is it inconsistent with any of the underlying
principles or tenets of the Olweus model?• If “yes” to any of the above, we recommend not
using the materials
![Page 130: Olweus bully prevention master](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062307/554dc6bcb4c905bd488b5181/html5/thumbnails/130.jpg)
What Might Be Appropriate Supplemental Resources?
• Videos that can be used in classrooms with students and/or with adults
• Children’s literature that can be used in class
• Teacher guides/resources that provide additional information about bullying and/or strategies to address bullying in classes
