Team-focused strategies for bully-proofing your school

One of the greatest challenges educators face in addressing bullying is recognizing when it's right in front of them. From identifying unsupervised campus "hot spots" to intervening appropriately in the moment, this practical how-to guide will equip your staff members to stand up instead of stand by. Shona Anderson's seven-step framework arms educators with:

  • A 10-question "pulse check"to determine areas of school culture that need strengthening
  • Tangible actions for each stage of the decision-making cycle
  • Activities that prompt staff members to observe, collaborate, act, and evaluate

 School leaders are empowered to maintain safe schools. It is a team effort and this unique guidebook shows how to educate all staff members to transform your school's culture from passive to proactive.
