Pacer’s National Bullying Prevention Center 

Pacer’s Educator Toolkits and Activities

I chose this website because of the variety of resources available to teachers, like lesson plans, videos, and general information about bullying.  This website has a lot of resources to help educators teach their students about bullying, and creating a positive school and classroom environment.  On the educator resource page there are several activities and toolkits for different grade levels that teachers can use to help prevent bullying, start discussions, and help students become advocates.  The website also has toolkits to help teachers plan school wide events and prevent bullying in the community.  Pacer’s also has several other resources to share with students such as videos, stories, handouts, and links to bullying websites for kids, and resources for parents.

I also chose this website because it was very well organised and easy to navigate.
