Description
Bullying in school can result in significant internalizing problems and lower academic achievement (Burger et al., 2015). Teacher intervention in response to bullying is essential and can be impacted by teacher self-efficacy. This study will analyze factors that predict self-efficacy, including administrator support, bullying intervention training experience, teacher peer response and teacher years of experience. This research will further reinforce the role of school psychologists in supporting teachers with their bullying interventions.
