Training Information
In response to the rise in bullying and violence in schools, Right to Be has adapted the 5Ds of bystander intervention training for teachers in K – 12 schools. Scholarship on bullying and violence in schools indicates that when teachers model bystander intervention students are significantly more likely to safely and effectively intervene when witnessing bullying.
This 60 minute, interactive training will teach K-12 teachers, staff, and administrators the methodology behind our 5D’s of Bystander Intervention for their unique workplace – school settings. The training starts by talking about the types of disrespect that these school stakeholders are facing right now at school using a tool we call the “Spectrum of Disrespect.” You’ll learn what to look for and the positive impact that bystander intervention can have on individuals, schools, and communities, using our 5D’s of Bystander Intervention methodology: distract, delegate, document, delay, and direct; and how to prioritize your own safety while intervening. We’ll have time at the end to practice school-based work scenarios with the 5 Ds, and you’ll leave feeling more confident intervening the next time you see disrespect happening within the workplace of a school setting.
