STAMP Out Bullying

Here’s an anti-bullying assembly and same-day professional development that reduces bullying on average of 50% (DiBasilio, 2008; Packman, Lepkowski, Overton, & Smaby, 2005)!  Plus, Jay’s high-energy mix of music, slapstick comedy, animated story-telling and spot on application is sure to captivate both student and adult.   An age-appropriate elementary school assembly, middle school assembly and high school assembly is sure to empower each participant over bullying situations.

What is STAMP?

Jay delivers this “research-based” program to educate and equip children with a five-point strategy, embodied in an easily remembered acronym:

S – Stay away from bullies. T – Tell someone. A – Avoid bad situations. M – Make friends. P – Project confidence.

An elementary school principal writes…

“STAMP Out Bullying was our first effort to extend our thinking from our core Olweus program. We know that core teaching is necessary for us to educate our entire school family on bullying. Mr. Banks works with the teachers and the students using all teaching and learning modalities. Teachers and students participate in difficult conversations about bullying experiences helping all stakeholders to realize the ‘why’ in what we are doing. With daily class meetings, a core curriculum, and Jay Banks’ STAMP Out Bullying, our school has taken a giant step forward as we grow as a kind and caring school family for all.”

A junior high school principal writes…

“While teaching my Algebra 1 students yesterday, I was a little frustrated because they were expressing difficulty in “remembering” some recent formulas needed in their mathematical calculations (or whatever they were doing!). So I asked them if they could remember S.T.A.M.P. – sure enough, they remembered every description for each letter!  Proof again that humor, a good presentation, and meaningfulness truly work well together.”

Steve Stec, Trinity Lutheran School, Tinley Park, IL

A school psychologist writes…

“Thank you for making the trip out to Oregon to teach us how to stamp out bullying.  Your presentation was very well-received by the students.  It was informative as well as entertaining.  One third grader said to me afterwards, “He’s not Jay Banks – he’s Jay Leno!”  The STAMP acronym has provided a vehicle for talking to my students about their peer difficulties.  For the most part, they are remembering what the letters stand for and I am able to help them to see their role in the interaction with peers and what they can do differently next time.  I use it as part of the psychoeducational process to help them understand that they have several strategies that they can use in order not to feel victimized.”
