    BULLY BEHAVIOR LESSON PLANS
    Children need skills of expressing their negative feelings in a safe ways. Young people are hungry for tools to deal with conflict. Children who are adept at positive social interactions feel more in control of their lives. Social skill training increases self esteem and the ability to solve problems. Social skills are easy to present in groups. They are fun to teach. Children can learn to reconnect with positive values of treating each other with respect and taking responsibility for their own behavior. Stopping Egg Ons and bully behavior is one of the most important skills today's children can learn. These are new times. New times require new ways of reaching and supporting children. Fun, short, snappy interventions are needed to stress respecting each other and living peacefully. RememberChildren are as strong, independent and caring as their social skills! My company, Talk, Trust and Feel Therapeutics, publishes lesson plans on anger management. We have an award winning web site on helping children with anger as well as a section of ideas on stopping bully behavior.

    31. Controlling Anger - Anger Management - Lesson Plans - Elementary
    How anger can cause us to lose control of our behavior. Groark turns to a group of real elementary school children for a lesson in managing anger.
    http://www.goodcharacter.com/GROARK/Anger.html
    Teaching Guide:
    Controlling Anger
    for grades K-5
    This page is from the teaching guide for the video "Groark Learns to Control Anger" in the video series Getting Along with Groark featuring the Popcorn Park Puppets . Even if you aren't showing this video there is a lot of useful material here you can use to create a lesson. Feel free to modify it to suit your needs.
    HOW TO
    HANDLE YOUR ANGER
    1. STOP. . .
    Count to ten. Take a deep breath. Or walk away until you have calmed down. 2. SAY. . .
    what's wrong. Use your words to say what you don't like. 3. TELL. . .
    what you would like to have happen. EDUCATIONAL
    GOALS
    CHILDREN LEARN: How anger can cause us to lose control of our behavior. How anger can lead to violence, even when we don't intend it. How we can calm our anger and stay in control. THE VIDEO STORY
    Groark ruins Nubbs' model airplane. G roark becomes so angry at his own silly mistakes that he accidentally damages his best friend's (Nubbs') model airplane. This leads to a heated exchange, and the two nearly come to blows. When the fight is interrupted by the school bell, Groark turns to a group of real elementary school children for a lesson in managing anger. He learns how to tell when his anger is getting out of control, how that can lead to fighting, and how to calm his anger. He uses his newfound skill to calm his friend's anger, and the two make up.

    What are Artifacts?
    Artifacts are materials produced by the teacher candidates during the years of teacher education programs. Each selected artifact provides evidence of mastery and application of teaching pedagogy and methodology. The artifacts chosen should showcase of the teacher candidate's achievements, highlighting their strengths as effective educators. The production and collection of the artifacts begin with the first education course and the first courses in their content area for a middle or secondary education major. Throughout college coursework, pre-service teachers should begin collecting samples of their work as potential artifacts for the certification portfolio. During student teaching, pre-service teachers finalize this professional portfolio, adding appropriate artifacts from the student teaching experience. Return to Top.
    How do You Select the Best Show-Case Artifacts?
    You need to be selective when deciding which artifacts to include. More is not always better. Show your best work. You are trying to persuade people who do not know you that you are a competent beginning teacher, who is proficient in each of the 11 MoSTEP standards. As you decide which lesson plans or other artifacts to include in your portfolio, for example, think about the following:
