"The role of teachers in bullying prevention"
School bullying is a global problem that causes harm to involved children whether they are bullies, victims, bully-victims, or bystanders. We know that bullying is not just a problem between two individuals; it is influenced by the climate in the classroom and school, and by the actions of the teacher in creating a climate in which bullying is unacceptable. The way the teacher responds to an incident of bullying sends a message to students about value of norms that disapprove of bullying. Although many anti-bullying programs can be implemented, the teacher is the key person delivering the programs and reinforcing the lessons. This presentation will discuss the essential role of teachers in reducing bullying at school.

Japanese researchers/practitioners have been tackling ijime (Japanese word for bullying), collaborating worldwide and adopting cultural diversity. Countermeasures including peer support, Smartphone Summit and the Ijime Immunity Program are introduced. Though the evidence is rather weak, we are trying new ways of evaluation such as B/V ratio, participants' perspective evaluations and Ijime Immunity Scale. Discussing on such countermeasures and ways of evaluation may contribute to refining the new and challenging trials.
