Bullying and Cyberbullying: What Every Educator Needs to Know

This book is a valuable tool for anyone seeking to gain a comprehensive understanding of Cyberbullying. It not only raises awareness about the serious issue of bullying and cyberbullying but also empowers readers with the knowledge and tools to make a difference. In an era where digital interactions play a significant role in students' lives, having a resource like this is invaluable.Dr. Englander's writing is accessible and engaging, making complex concepts easy to understand. She has a unique ability to convey research findings and theoretical frameworks in an easily digestible manner, making the content relatable and impactful. Her expertise shines throughout!

At last! A book on bullying and cyberbullying book that goes deep on a complex topic and provides research-based solutions! Not only do I agree with the subtitle: “What every educator needs to know"!, I want to add: “what every educator, parent, professional or any adult who cares about kids needs to know.” The author and researcher, Elizabeth Englander has compiled the definitive text on all the most recent research available today on bullying and cyberbullying--issues sadly too much in the news and too much a part of our everyday lives. In her book, she also examines the processes for detecting and understanding the behaviors, explains the role digital technology plays in the problem, and offers research-based strategies for responding. As a pediatrician, parent educator, and children's advocate, I whole-heartedly congratulate Englander on her extensive, thorough work and encourage all caring adults to put Englander's ideas to address bullying and cyberbullying to work in your homes, schools, and communities. I will be sharing her insights and helpful solutions on this complex topic in all my school trainings and in my parent talks.Kathy Masarie MD, author of Face to Face: Cultivating Kids' Social LIves in Today's Digital World

I am a clinician treating adults, adolescents and families. Although I thought this book was intended for educators, it turns out to be incredibly useful for me as a clinician in my treatment of patients! The book goes through, in a very sensible and down-to-earth way, what we really know--and need to know-- about bullying and cyberbullying and how to effectively approach these issues with kids and with schools. In addition to being a clinician, I am also an educator. This intellectually stimulating book is of value in both domains. It is very well-written and holds the reader's interest. I can't recommend it highly enough; I'd give it ten stars if i could!

This is the most practical school counseling book I have ever read. Every adult can learn so much from this book, whether or not you work in the field of education. What I like about this book is how practical it is. It addresses some of the ways in which bully prevention programs have failed our students and what we can do to change that and it is all research-based. There are links within the book to free needs assessments and even bullying prevention curriculums.

I read this book as a school administrator and found her research and approach illuminating. Having read many books on adolescent social issues, this one in particular was engaging and accessible. There are tips here for teachers, for students and for parents. Englander's has done some groundbreaking research on what students find helpful when they feel bullied. She also covers cyber issues in a way that is realistic and constructive.

This is nice and clear; not too 'academic'.

As a Clinical Psychologist working with children and adolescents, I found this book to be extremely valuable in providing a detailed window into the connection between the social environment in school and online. Social media plays a significant part in the lives of children today, often more so than live interpersonal interactions. It is a world that is constantly changing, and one most parents, educators and therapists are less familiar with. Dr. Englander clearly and intelligently, lays out a compilation of the latest research on what happens between kids in school and online, and how these two worlds interact. This book is valuable not only to educators, but to parents, therapists, and anyone who works with children.
