JAMES BURNS - BULLYING-

My name is Jim burns and I live in Brick NJ. For the past 12 years I have been studying the epidemic of bullying in our society. This has become a very hot topic in NJ as the state has just passed the Anti Bullying Bill of Rights law which requires educators to really pay attention and be more vigilant regarding bullying in their school. I am a retired high school administrator who now works as a college instructor, teacher trainer, speaker, and writer. I have published 3 books which you can view at www.jameshburns.com.The New 3Rs in Education: Respect, Responsibility, and Relationships. Everybody knows what the 3 R's of teaching are - reading, writing, and 'rithmetic. In order to teach these basics successfully educators must develop respect and responsibility in their students.  They can't assume they're taught at home.  Teachers must learn how to build positive relationships with their students and foster a positive and safe learning environment. 100 Everyday Strategies: Helping Students and Teachers Become Their Personal Best The teachers you had when you were a student truly were the decisive element that created the classroom climate, but what qualities did those teachers possess that inspired you and made you feel like you were an important or worthy person in that classroom? You may have some difficulty answering this question, but if you can, you will then be starting on the road to becoming your personal best. This book will provide you with permanent help and not temporary relief for effective classroom managment!  This book will guide you on a daily basis and become an invaluable resource for making lasting change for yourself and your students! Plus, it will become your daily roadmap that you will use to deal with any problem or circumstance.
