Educating the Educators: Facilitating Bullying Education with Inservice Special Education Teachers
Overview & Synopsis
Students with disabilities are at risk of being bullied in school settings. Special education teachers should be prepared to address this complex behavioral issue and support students with disabilities. This study surveyed 30 novice special education teachers to investigate the amount of bullying prevention and intervention training they experienced in their teacher education training programs, school sites, and school districts. The impact of a bullying prevention and intervention workshop on the participants' perceptions were also examined. The results demonstrated that the participants improved their confidence and readiness for bullying prevention and intervention strategies. The paper provides suggestions for teacher preparation. A call for systemic and collaborative bullying prevention and intervention training across special teacher education programs and beyond is substantiated.
