Overview

Teaching elementary and middle school students how to react to bullying situations is the primary goal of this program. Bully-Be-Gone addresses the problem of bullying in a non-threatening manner that encourages all students to share their real-life experiences. Students learn specific actions to take by learning two four-letter word acronyms, one for the Bystander and one for the Victim. The actions contained in the acronyms better equip students to handle bullying situations. In order to help students remember the two acronyms, a portion of the class period is spent playing a board game, where students are encouraged to practice handling make-believe bullying situations, using their new knowledge. Bystanders are encouraged to become Upstanders, observers who help when they safely can do so.

Author Information

Gail Cassidy started her career as a high school English teacher, her first passion, and then moved on to the corporate and non-profit sectors where she gained extensive training and program development experience. At IBM Corporation, Gail worked as an instructor/writer/manager and received the Outstanding Contribution award for developing self-paced training programs which were used nationwide. While raising her children, Gail was president of seven local nonprofit organizations, including her local board of education, Rotary, American Heart, and the Westfield Foundation. After four years as executive director of the American Red Cross, Gail moved on to Dale Carnegie, Inc. where she started as an instructor, then became manager of instruction for this international training company. Gail developed seminars and workshops as well as trained new instructors and clients. Gail's second passion is writing. She has written twenty-one books which can be found on amazon.com and which include Discover Your Passion, Profit From Your Passion, The Validating Mentor, You Cannot NOT Communicate, and One Talk Fits All plus Tips booklets for various groups and an entire Seminar Series. Gail and her training partner and editor, Ed Topar, have also been active internationally by volunteering their teaching expertise during summers in support of in-service training programs for teachers and administrators in Lithuania. In addition, they train high school students in the U.S. to be mentors, using their Kids Mentoring Kids program and also teach Bully-Be-Gone for elementary students. The common denominator of all of her writing and teaching is twofold--self-actualization through finding and acting on your passion and the importance of civility, treating others as you want to be treated. She believes that these themes transcend all generations.
