Fix Your Climate (e-book) (used book) | Kathryn S Young | bookbook.eu

Description

Microaggressions, microbullying, and bullying are the silent destroyers of a university's climate.

Similar to high blood pressure, these behaviors appear difficult to detect, but if undetected and untreated, they can destroy relationships and morale, and reduce collaboration, productivity, and a sense of belonging at your institution. So how do you prevent (or clean up) a toxic environment in your unit, department, or campus?

In this handbook, two leading experts on hierarchical microaggressions - Myron Anderson and Kathryn Young - present in-depth scenarios, strategies, and worksheets for addressing these issues on your campus. In these pages, you will get:

• A primer on the relationship between microaggressions, microbullying, bullying, and campus climate.
• Scenarios, strategies, and tutorials for preventing and addressing microaggressions in both administrative and academic units.
• Scenarios, strategies, and tutorials for preventing and addressing microbullying and bullying behaviors.
• A case study of how one institution developed a comprehensive bullying policy.
• A 4-way implementation model to guide your strategy for addressing these issues.

"Anderson and Young have conceived a practical and comprehensive approach to achieve positive and measurable change in your campus climate and it begins with a very simple premise: campus climate is everyone's responsibility." - Stephen M. Jordan, Ph.D., President Emeritus, MSU Denver
