Energetic host Keith Deltano takes a spirited approach to handling bullying in this three-part lecture format informational series. In the first volume, Bully Proof Your Classroom—Strategies for Teachers, Deltano—who modestly describes himself as a “cross between Mother Teresa and Arnold Schwarzenegger”—uses onscreen text to illustrate points as he shares personal stories from his years of experience as a middle school teacher. Topics covered include favoritism, loving the kids who may be outcasts (“I don't know what it is about Star Wars and social awkwardness, but they seem to go together”), breaking up social hierarchies, using Socratic techniques with pushy parents, and making an example of the bully (well-publicized punishment as a strong deterrent). Also including weblinks for further info, as well as tips for being proactive about bullying online, this is a very helpful primer. Also including Bully Proof Your Teen: Strategies for Parents and Anti-Bullying Scenarios: Play-By-Play, this series is highly recommended. Aud: J, H, P. (J. Williams-Wood)
