School Leadership and Stakeholders’Perceptions Regarding Cyberbullying, Its Effects, and Suggestions for Intervention  \nWesley Hester, Shelby County Schools, Alabama  \nWalter L. Fenn, University of Montevallo, Alabama  \nCyberbullying is a growing phenomenon influencing schools, which must be addressed. Transformational school leaders, as the literature suggests, employ strategies for addressing cyberbullying including forming partnerships, implementing education and awareness programs, and applying disciplinary action. The purpose of this study is to understand how cyberbullying affects stakeholders and how transformational school leaders can better address the issue. Perceptions regarding cyberbullying were collected and analyzed using focus group interviews from school administrators, school counselors, parents, and external authorities. Content analysis identified five significant themes. Discussion of results, stakeholder implications, and recommendations include ideas regarding stakeholder partnerships, education and awareness programs, school disciplinary action, parental supervision and control, and ideas concerning relationships and trust.  \nTransformational leaders in today’s schools understand that cyberbullying has been identified and established as a major issue facing students who access online communication and messaging devices (i.e. computers, notebooks, tablets, and smartphones) . Texting and social networking have become major forms of communication for this generation of school-aged children. Our current middle and high-school children are faced with the ever-growing pressure of social status, which has become compounded by the increased use of hand-held devices that connect them to others at almost any time and any location (Taylor, 2008) .  \nTransformational leadership consists of four factors, often referred to as the four I’s of transformational leadership: idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration (Bass & Riggio, 2006) . Bullying of any kind, including cyberbullying, is not be tolerated by school transformational leaders who exhibit the 4 I’s including individualized consideration as they are concerned for the individual well-being of each and every student. School leaders are faced with the difficult and complex cyberbullying problems that arise between students and result in upset, insecure, and concerned parents, students, and other stakeholders. Research has been conducted on cyberbullying, its contributing factors, its increasing rates, and its effects upon victims, bullies, and bystanders. A small percentage of these studies provide information about actual perceptions of those directly involved  \nAlabama Journal of Educational Leadership  \nVolume 1, September 2014  \n© 2014 Alabama Association of Professors of Educational Leadership  \nwith students (Beale & Hall, 2007) . This particular study focused on the perceptions of school stakeholders regarding the effects of cyberbullying on society, their communities, and their schools. The purpose of the study was to provide in-depth, personal data acquired from the opinions, perceptions, and thoughts of school stakeholders via focusgroup interviews. The collection and subsequent analyses of this data were intended to provide a rich perspective into the realities of cyberbullying and its effects upon groups of individuals connected with schools.  \nSetting of the Study  \nThe setting of the study was located in a single school system in the southeastern region of the United States. The school system serves a diverse population spanning an entire county, containing rural, sub-urban, and urban areas, various racial and ethnic groups and multiple socio-economic levels. Four distinct stakeholder groups were chosen to participate in focus-group sessions: school administrators, school counselors, parents of secondary students served by the school system, and legal-expert and law-enforce","cbCaisyqngxL1trG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisyqngxL1trG","pdf",213210,15,"English","# Introduction\n## Transformational Leadership and Cyberbullying Context\n## Study Purpose and Research Questions\n# Setting of the Study\n## Participants and Consent\n# Research Methods\n## Case Study Qualitative Approach\n## Focus-Group Structure and Themes","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study seeks to understand how cyberbullying affects stakeholders and how transformational school leaders can better address the issue.\"},{\"question\":\"Who participated in the focus-group interviews?\",\"answer\":\"School administrators, school counselors, parents of secondary students, and legal-expert and law-enforcement officials participated after providing written consent.\"},{\"question\":\"How were perceptions about cyberbullying collected and analyzed?\",\"answer\":\"Perceptions were collected through focus group interviews and analyzed using content analysis, which identified five significant themes.\"},{\"question\":\"What intervention suggestions emerged from the findings?\",\"answer\":\"Recommendations include stakeholder partnerships, education and awareness programs, school disciplinary action, parental supervision and control, and building relationships and trust.\"}]","Transforming School Leadership and Stakeholders’Perceptions Regarding Cyberbullying, Its Effects, and Suggestions for Intervention | PDF",1792069854,38]
