Words hurt. More than that, they have the power to make students feel unsafe to the point where they are no longer able to perform in school or conduct normal lives. Though often dismissed as “harmless teasing,” name-calling reinforces unhealthy peer hierarchies and a rigid social order, especially over time as individual incidents accumulate to become a pattern.

In the No Name-Calling Week Resource kit you’ll find all the tools and resources you’ll need to create an initiative aimed at eliminating bullying, harassment and name-calling in your school.

The kit contains the following:

No Name-Calling: Creating Safe Environments video: Experts agree that bullying and harassment in school usually starts with name-calling. Name-calling can be especially tough on younger students whose self-esteem development is at a critical phase. No Name-Calling demonstrates the damage that can be done when kids are targeted by hurtful words. The video clearly states why this kind of harassment is unfair, painful and perhaps even illegal. Additionally, the video offers constructive ways for creating a positive school environment where everyone will feel safe and free to learn.

A Comprehensive Resource Guide contains 11 lesson plans, tips for organizing a no name-calling week in your school, whether it be students, teachers, guidance counselors, librarians, bus drivers or coaches, a Bullying Survey, classroom exercise materials, and additional resources.
