When is going against the crowd the right thing to do? Peer pressure is real. Whether out of fear of being different or just plain lack of confidence, students love to follow the crowd. It's safe that way; they get the rewards of being liked without risk of alienation. But then sometimes being part of the group takes more effort and requires a courageous denial of narrow self-interest. Standing alone becomes an act of selfishness, an abandonment of duty. Join Steve and Dan Fouts and special guest educators Jim Plaza, Jason Janczak and Paul Solarz for an unforgettable conversation that you can immediately recreate in your classroom!

In this episode of the Wired Educator Podcast I read my eBook What Everyone Needs to Know About Bullying and make it an audible book, and more! I wanted this to be available so students, parents, educators and anyone could listen to it on the bus, in the car, at lunch, on a walk, workout, or doing chores with their headphones on. This is deeply personal but can really save lives.What is your school district doing to educate students, staff, parents and the community about bullying? Every month should be 'Bullying Awareness Month', and I wanted to create a free audio recording of my popular ebook resource for educators, parents and students to help out when a bully steps into someone's life, What Everyone Needs to Know About Bullying. So... that's what I did! This episode of the Wired Educator Podcast is me reading my eBook. I wanted this to be available so students, parents, educators and anyone could listen to it on the bus, in the car, at lunch, on a walk, workout, or doing chores with their headphones on. This is deeply personal but can really save lives. Please listen and share this out. I will update this book annually, as I have done for the past few years with the latest information and help. I have created a free resource you can download titled, What Everyone Needs to Know About Bullying. I hope you will share it with everyone you can. I believe it delivers a message that many need to hear and practice. The bottom line is this: The opposite of bullying is leadership. We need to teach and train students to be better leaders online and off. It's that simple. Everyone talks about the importance of leadership, but few, very few, take the time to teach it. Listen to this podcast. This is what I want everyone to know about bullying.
