Teachers can:
 Promote and model safe and ethical use of technology in the classroom and computer lab.
 Review the school’s acceptable use policy with students and make them aware of expectation and conse-
quences for bullying behavior and misuse of technology.
 Just because technology is used to cyberbully, don’t ban students from using it for educational purposes.
Productive, safe, and ethical practice in using technology in a safe environment promotes healthier uses of
technology beyond school.
 Monitor student use of technology at school including computers, cellular/mobile devices, video game de-
vices, etc. Don’t rely solely on proxy servers and firewalls. Students can find ways to circumvent these safe-
guards.
 Incorporate cyberbullying into your content area if possible. Make yourself available as a person your stu-
dents can talk to and assure your students that you are there to help them if they are bullied or feel unsafe.
 Make sure students are informed of their rights, responsibilities, laws, and available resources.
 Be aware. If you overhear students discussing potential cyberbullying situations, don’t ignore it.
- If you can’t intervene, at least refer the students to an administrator or guidance counselor.
- Discuss the incident or your suspicion with an SRO, counselor, etc.
*Remember, by law we are required to report any suspected abuse.
 Communicate with parents. Parents need to be made aware if you suspect their child is involved in some
way with a cyberbullying situation. That way they can better monitor their child’s interactions outside of
school.
 Start a cyberbullying education program in your school that includes faculty, parents, and other members of
the community.
Parents can:
 Set rules and limitations for technology use in the home and hold the child accountable for following the
rules.
 Promote and model safe and ethical use of technology in the home.
 Monitor the child’s use of technology including computers, cellular/mobile devices, gaming systems, etc.
 Be a good listener and be available to the child as someone they feel comfortable talking to.
 Meet your child’s friends and their families or at least ask questions about who the child interacts with online
and offline as well as the nature of the interactions.
 Report cyberbullying or suspected bullying to the school, authorities, and communication/internet service
provider/ website used as the vehicle for bullying. By contacting the communication/internet service provider
or website involved, the offender’s account may be suspended or the offender may be banned from contact
with the victim.
 Communicate with teachers and school administrators. The school is a physical gathering place for students
where cyberbullying may manifest itself in other forms such as violence, verbal harassment, etc. School fac-
ulty and administrators should be made aware of any incidents so they can be on the lookout for bullying be-
havior and ensure the safety of the students.
 Participate in school activities and organizations such as the PTSO and establish a network with school em-
ployees and other parents. School organizations provide a great foundation for the development of cyberbul-
lying education programs as well as watch groups.
