“Retweet Does Not Imply Endorsement”: The Logic of Cyberbullying in Schools
Story Synopsis: School nurse Hazel O’Leary and her supportive principal, Jamal Morden-Jones, strive to effectively respond to weight-related cyberbullying at their middle school. While there is a district-wide bullying prevention and intervention program guide that supposedly has all the necessary guidance on the subject, the duo still find themselves scrambling to implement the plan in the school, highlighting the gap between policy and practice. As the case study ends, Hazel prepares to initiate her school’s first foray into the world of logic models for public health program planning.
Skills: Through this case students learn how to use logic models for public health program planning as they develop a strategy to combat weight-related cyberbullying.
