TRANSFORMATION VS INFORMATION
Information
With information, there is little if any interactivity, repetition, or extended training. Students having only anti-bullying information thrown at them, for example in a 2-hour assembly, are less likely to retain much of what was covered. They are less likely to be effective in eliminating, preventing, or becoming a victim of bullying. Training by way of information ONLY is not sustainable!
Transformation
As students go through the interactive and comprehensive 18-module training as instructed, the following Transformations will occur:
- The Development of Keen Street Awareness skills
- The importance of good health and fitness to help eliminate and prevent bullying
- Role Playing Scenarios training
- Mental Toughness training
- Learning powerful WORDS and responses to say to the bully. This results in greater self-confidence toward the elimination and prevention of bullying.
- The ability to eliminate and prevent bullying with knowledge, skills, and techniques.
- Creativity and Critical Thinking
- Learning Emergency Running skills
- Learning the 3Rs and how to effectively apply them to eliminate and prevent bullying
Results: Transformation training as taught in the Bullies Be Gone Project is unique and effective. Students are more likely to successfully eliminate and prevent bullying with sustainable anti-bullying and social skills knowledge.
