Bullying Prevention for Schools

Bullying Prevention for Schools A Step-by-Step Guide to Implementing a Successful ANTI-BULLYING Program Bullying can be found in every school system, school, and classroom. It is destructive to the well-being of students, creates unsafe schools, and impacts learning. School personnel, parents, and others are increasingly realizing the importance of putting effective anti-bullying strategies and policies in place that will create safe, caring, and peaceful schools where all students feel a sense of belonging and acceptance. Based on Allan L. Beane's proven Bully Free® Program, Bullying Prevention for Schools is a step-by-step guide to implementing an anti-bullying program in individual schools or throughout a district. In Bullying Prevention for Schools, Dr. Beane details how to: Implement training for school personnel and volunteers and awareness sessions for students, parents, and the community Establish policies, rules, behavioral expectations, discipline rubrics, and response plans Prepare intervention and prevention strategies Develop a plan to actively include, involve, and empower students, parents, and the community And much more Bullying Prevention for Schools also contains a wealth of reproducible documents and forms, such as surveys, statement sheets, and intervention questionnaires. I recommend this book and the Bully Free Program without reservation. District administrators, school principals, counselors, and teachers will find this informative and resource-packed book extremely helpful in developing a school or district-wide anti-bullying program. -CATHY BARNARD, principal, Anchorage Public School, Anchorage, Kentucky This book is the most complete and comprehensive step-by-step guide for schools to use to implement an anti-bullying program.
