The negative effects of bullying in school are substantial, yet educators trying to intervene face significant barriers. Such obstacles include ineffective intervention techniques and perceptual bias that gets in the way of recognizing bullying. Promising ways to overcome these barriers include the following strategies: using intervention methods that focus of facilitating empathy and problem solving, implementing regular awareness raising activities for educators and students about how to recognize bullying and how to intervene, and employing a school-team approach that informs and supports educators in their anti-bullying efforts.
