Creating and Negotiating Collaborative Spaces for Socially-Just Anti-Bullying Interventions for K-12 Schools (New Directions in Educational ... in Scholarship, Teaching, and Service)

A volume in New Directions in Educational Leadership: Innovations in Research, Teaching, and Learning Across the United States, schools face the daunting issue of confronting the widespread effects of bullying, which threaten the physical, emotional, and intellectual well-being and development of youth. Creating and Negotiating Collaborative Spaces for Socially-Just Anti- Bullying Interventions for K-12 Schools is a theoretically and empirically grounded edited volume that describes practical ways to address bullying at both systemic and individual levels. Central to the scope of the book is a diversity-focused approach to assessing and conceptualizing discrimination and bullying among marginalized youth, such as LGBTQ, mixed race, gifted and talented, and special needs populations. Interspersed with concrete, real-life examples, each chapter in the volume expands on the multiple dimensions of bullying as well as research-backed anti-bullying interventions. The book advances previous literature by addressing contemporary issues in bullying. Special topics include teacher-to-student bullying, cyberbullying, restorative justice practices, and assessment of attitudes toward addressing bullying.
