School Administrators
Children under your care are being teased, bullied or systematically excluded from their peer group. You are under pressure from parents to do something. You have tried to intervene but nothing seems to help. On occasion you are threatened with litigation. You feel frustrated, angry, and sometimes powerless.
Responding to bullying is not just about fending off lawsuits. It is an opportunity to teach students alternative behaviors, to reconnect with your school mission statement and to unite teachers and parents in a common vision. Many principals find in their work with No Bully® that at last they are doing what they set out to do. They rise to the challenge, motivating faculty, parents and students in a shared vision of teaching the whole child.
You can create a safe and inclusive school culture providing that you do two things:
Take a whole school approach that unites all parts of the school community – parents, faculty, and students – in creating a safe school. You need to put in place a written anti-bullying policy. You need to shift the behaviors of student peer groups so that values of inclusion and kindness replace aggression and dominance. You need to empower student bystanders to become allies. In doing this you need to engage the other systems influential on student values - teachers, staff and parents - so that they provide active support.
Stay for the long haul. Be prepared to run your school anti-bullying program for a year before you see significant changes and probably three years before you see the full benefits. The research shows that it is the conscientious schools that effect real change.
No Bully is committed to helping schools such as yours. Call the No Bully office for a free consultation. Schools are often eligible for Federal funding for teacher trainings under Title II and funds for creating an anti-bullying policy and written plan under Title IV, as part of creating a safe and drug-free school.
