No Bully


School Partnerships

Schools that successfully become bully-free invest in developing strong school communities where everyone is included and respected for who they are. No Bully has found that schools need to put six key building blocks in place that address both students, parents and staff in order to create and sustain bully-free learning communities.

What happens in a No Bully partnership?
For California schools and school districts that want to invest in real and sustainable culture change, No Bully offers long-term partnerships (ranging from one to three years) to help them put in place the key elements that support a bully-free learning community.

  • To be eligible for long-term partnership, we ask schools to form a Transformation Taskforce (six to eight people drawn from staff, parents, and adults that work on campus) and to appoint one person (usually the principal) to be the taskforce leader.
  • A No Bully consultant meets regularly with the Transformation Taskforce during the partnership and leads it through all the modules contained in the Transformation Handbook that ensure a phased approach to creating culture change.
  • No Bully will support the taskforce leader for the duration of our partnership with as many phone consultations as are needed.
  • The partnership includes training in Solution Team and all the other No Bully teacher, staff and parent workshops.

Schools that complete the partnership and implement all six building blocks are awarded the “No Bully School” logo for use on their website.

The benefits of long-term partnership
Schools that enter long-term partnerships move beyond responding to bullying to proactively creating a community where incidents of bullying are less frequent. The unifying thread that runs through No Bully partnerships is building social and emotional intelligence. The rewards that schools typically experience from social and emotional learning are significant reductions in student bullying, increased inclusiveness and respect, and 11-17% improvement in student academic performance.†

In all, some 324,303 student-participants were involved, mostly from schools within the United States, making this the largest cumulative study of its kind.
