Cyberbullying is one of the darker and more troubling aspects to the growing accessibility of new media technologies. Children in developed countries engage with cyberspace at younger and younger ages, and the use of the internet as a means to bully and harass has been greeted with alarm by educationalists, parents, the media, and governments. This important new book is the result of a four-year international collaboration, funded by the EU, to better understand how we can cope and confront cyberbullying, and how new media technologies can be used to actually support the victims of such abuse. The articles initially define the historical and theoretical context to cyberbullying, before examining key issues involved in managing this pervasive phenomenon. Coverage includes: The definition and measurement of cyberbullying. The legal challenges in tackling cyberbullying across a number of international contexts. The role of mobile phone companies and Internet service providers in monitoring and prevention How the media frame and present the issue, and how that influences our understanding. How victims can cope with the effects of cyberbullying, and the guidelines and advice provided in different countries. How cyber-bullying can continue from school into further education, and the strategies that can be used to prevent it. The ways in which accessing 'youth voice', or maximising the contribution of young people themselves to the research process, can enhance our understanding The book concludes with practical guidance to help confront the trauma that cyberbullying can cause. It will be a valuable resource for researchers, students, policy makers and administrators with an interest in how children and young people are rendered vulnerable to bullying and harassment through a variety of online channels.

Racism, i.e. discrimination against people on the basis of their supposed ethnic origin, is omnipresent in schools. Apart from students, trainees and teachers, all actors in the school context are affected by this topic. Why is this so? How can racist discrimination be explained? What effects does this behavior have on those affected? And how can schools counteract it? These are all questions that arise and which this book aims to answer with the intention of enabling all those acting in the school context to critically examine their own knowledge bases relevant to racism. This book contributes to the development of school as a racism-sensitive space in which all actors behave in a racism-sensitive manner. Therefore, in addition to an overview of the history of racism, approaches to explaining racist behavior and the effects of racist discrimination, prevention and intervention approaches for a practice critical of racism in schools are presented.

The book covers how to deal with grief in schools. Grief reactions of children and adolescents are described and reasons for grief are presented: Death due to chronic illness, sudden deaths such as suicide, accident, and severe targeted violence. Appropriate intervention measures are presented. Finally, the limitations of these intervention measures in schools are discussed. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Trauer an Schulen by Matthias Boehmer and Georges Steffgen, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2021. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

Rassismus, also Diskriminierung von Menschen aufgrund deren vermeintlicher ethnischer Herkunft, ist an Schulen allgegenwartig. Neben Schuler*innen, Referendar*innen und Lehrer*innen sind mithin alle Akteur*innen im schulischen Kontext von dieser Thematik betroffen. Warum ist dem so? Wie lasst sich rassistische Diskriminierung erklaren? Welche Auswirkungen hat dieses Verhalten auf Betroffene? Und wie kann Schule dem begegnen? All dies sind Fragen, die sich stellen und die in diesem Buch in der Absicht beantwortet werden sollen, allen im Schulkontext handelnden Personen eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit den eigenen rassismusrelevanten Wissensbestanden zu ermoeglichen. Dieses Buch tragt dazu bei, dass sich Schule zu einem rassismussensiblen Raum entwickelt, in dem sich alle Akteur*innen rassismussensibel verhalten. Daher werden neben einem UEberblick uber die Geschichte des Rassismus, Ansatze zur Erklarung von rassistischen Verhaltensweisen und Auswirkungen von rassistischer Diskriminierung auch Praventions- und Interventionsansatze fur eine rassismuskritische Praxis in der Schule vorgestellt.
