SmartBlog on Education - Bullying prevention from the ground up - SmartBrief, Inc. Smar... - 0 views

  • Policies, programs, protocols, etc., can be useful tools for people to use, but they don’t change people — only people can change people. Bullying prevention must also start from the ground up — the ground of changing people’s hearts and minds towards greater respect and caring. Bullying prevention should not just be about stopping a negative behavior; it should be about how the members of the school community treat each other.
  • Compliance is a poor, ineffective substitute for a community’s commitment to creating the type culture and climate needed for learning — one that is incompatible will all types of bullying.

  • Stand on principles.
  • Translate principles into specific words and actions.
  • Get adult behavior aligned with principles.
  • All students can lead.
  • Becoming a more caring and respectful school community is the means and the ends towards preventing and reducing bullying in schools.
