An educator overhears a conversation between two students. One of the students is witnessing other students picking on a student with an intellectual disability during the daily walk home. The behavior described includes teasing, pushing, and taking personal possessions. The educator hears the student say that he feels bad for the student being picked on but is afraid to confront his peers or report the behavior, mainly since the activity is not happening on school grounds.
Discuss how the educator can address this issue. Include evidence from the “Model Code of Ethics for Educators (MCEE)” https://www.nasdtec.net/page/MCEE_Doc#/Principle%203 and “Professional Dispositions of Learners” to support your ideas.
Unfortunately, research has proven that those who bully are most likely victims at one point themselves -READ the article (https://www.theguardian.com/education/2008/aug/29/bullying.schools). It is a systemic outcome that often goes underreported. Schools can make efforts to intervene (and should) but require the help of the families and community. In your paper also bring up the point about the cyclical nature of bullying.
Your essay must have three scholarly resources. All research must be from the United States elementary school grades 4-6th grades. All cited resources must be available for review (nothing blocked or from another country’s sites).
