Scenario: A parent has emailed you, stating that their child is being repeatedly picked on by other students, and you are doing nothing to address the situation. After speaking with the student, you learn that other students are indeed calling this student names behind your back and picking on them throughout the day.

Task:

Part 1: Write an email response back to the parent, explaining your conversation with their child and how you plan on addressing the incident in your classroom.

Part 2: Create a plan for a class meeting to address the issues outlined above. Make sure your plan answers the following questions: What activities would occur? What resources (speakers, books, videos, other staff members, etc…) would you utilize? What is your rationale for each activity? What different roles would teachers, students, family play? How would you communicate your plan to all students and families?
