Which of the following strategies is likely to be most effective in preventing cyberbullying in a school setting?
  1. Blocking personal mobile devices from logging on to the school network.
  2. Encouraging students who have conflicts to meet with peer mediators to help resolve differences afterward.
  3. Using specific cyberbullying incidents as examples of inappropriate online behavior.
  4. Developing a school climate that emphasizes social-emotional learning, team building, and inclusion.
Explanation
Correct Response: D. Cyberbullying in schools is fueled by a lack of empathy and compassion exhibited by both perpetrators and bystanders. To prevent cyberbullying, this situation needs to be addressed by building a "school climate that emphasizes social- emotional learning, team building, and inclusion" (D). A is incorrect because "blocking personal mobile devices" (A) will not prevent cyberbullying on school devices. B and C are incorrect because focusing on "students who have conflicts," (B) or "using specific cyberbullying incidents as examples" (C), misses the point that cyberbullying is a reflection of the emotional health of the school community as a whole, and not of just the perpetrators.
