Walking Away Doesn't Work: Try This Instead
In this "No More Teasing" video lesson, we use relatable vignettes to show real-world playground and classroom conflicts. Students will see peer actors model the difference between reacting with anger (which makes things worse) and responding with confidence (which solves the problem). Perfect for your social emotional learning (SEL) curriculum and anti-bullying month.
Teacher/Parent Value:
This video provides 4 clear, memorable scripts ("Ignore," "Tell," "Together," "Kindness") that you can practice with students during morning meeting or role-play activities.
