Abstract

: School Bullying is a universal problem that leads to physical and mental harm to involved students for a long time. Teachers are the authoritative agents to intervene in bullying incidents in school. Teachers’ effective intervention in bullying incidents is beneficial to balance the power relationship among students and reduce the rate of school bullying incidents. Some effective strategies for teachers were introduced in this article to intervene in school bullying incidents, including how to work with the bully, work with the victim, working with students involved in bullying and enlist other relevant people in handling bullying incidents. In addition, some suggestions were put forward on the use of intervening strategies, which are of great significance for teachers to master these intervening strategies better.
