Mobbing at school

How to categorize all those psychological terror events that de-qualify and hinder a professional career and compromise a worker’s mental and physical health?

The term mobbing has entered into common use for some time now to indicate harassment and psychological violence against a worker.

Also, the school context, as a working environment, is not exempt from episodes of mobbing. In the school environment mobbing occurs in different forms:

• ascending: i.e., teachers versus school leader or even students versus teacher.
• vertical, also called bossing: i.e., manager versus teacher or teacher versus students.
• horizontal: i.e. between colleagues.

The College of Teachers or the College of the Institute is sometimes fertile ground for mobbing. The mobber, who is always an individual well rooted in the territory, can count on the action of the wingmen, parents or colleagues who do not actively participate in the actions of psychological terror, but who facilitate them with a conniving attitude that isolates the victim.

Learning to recognize the potential risks of bullying and to prevent them means creating a more peaceful and productive work environment, a very important element to perform at best a profession with such a high level of responsibility as that of the teacher.

In this sense, ICOTEA, which has always cared about the future of the school and therefore not only the preparation but also the serenity of teachers, provides its experience and professionalism to form a school leading up to its task through a wide range of training.

Regarding the subject of mobbing, in particular, ICOTEA offers both a master’s degree and a Specialization Course, depending on the degree you hold:

• Post Graduate Course in The New Leadership in Modern Education: Mobbing and School Inclusion
• Specialization Course in The new leadership in the School 3.0: mobbing and school inclusion

Both courses take place completely online on the Institute’s e-learning platform to accommodate those who are already working. This means that the students, once enrolled, will be able to manage the study in complete autonomy, as and when they prefer.

All the information about the courses can be found on the dedicated pages on the website. There you can get more information about the curriculum, the economic advantages, the exam procedures and much more!
