 * **Chapter 10 : Discipline Through Dignity and Hope for Challenging Youth
 * In small groups and using ideas from Discipline with Dignity (1. Identify core values, 2. Create rules and consequences, 3. Model the values, and 4. Use no interventions that violate the core values), role play some of the following scenarios or others that you have experienced or seen occur. (For purposes of this activity, the four core values identified on page 170 are suggested for use.) After the role play, discuss it and additional ideas for how to responsibly, respectfully, and legally handle the scenario. Also discuss how you would teach students to handle such situations, to model core values, to know what behaviors are not tolerated, and to know when bullying becomes harassment.

Discuss them with interested individuals in your setting or with a small group in an electronic Chat Room. 1. How do effective educators attempt to prevent bullying? 2. How do effective educators recognize and deal with bullying behaviors? 3. When and how do effective educators teach students about preventing and dealing with bullying? How do they learn the difference between "tattling" and "requesting help?" How do they learn appropriate ways to stand up to bullying? 4. What information did you find that you want to include in your Personal System of Discipline?
