Bully Prevention: Tips and Strategies for School Leaders and Classroom Teachers
Contents:
Bullying prevention efforts seem to work best if they are coordinated by a representative group from the school. This coordinating team which might include an administrator, a teacher from each grade, a member of the non-teaching staff, a school counselor or other school-based mental health professional, a school nurse, and at least one parent should meet regularly to digest data from the school survey described in Strategy 2; plan bullying prevention rules, policies, and activities; motivate staff, students, and parents; and ensure that the efforts continue over time.
A student advisory group also can be formed to focus on bullying prevention and provide valuable suggestions and feedback to adults. All administrators, faculty, and staff at your school should be trained in bullying prevention and intervention. In-service training can help staff to better understand the nature of bullying and its effects, how to respond if they observe bullying, and how to work with others at the school to help prevent bullying from occurring.
Training should not be available only for teaching staff. Rather, administrators should make an effort to educate all adults in the school environment who interact with students including counselors, media specialists, school resource officers, nurses, lunchroom and recess aides, bus drivers, parent volunteers, custodians, and cafeteria workers. Establish and enforce school rules and policies related to bullying. Although many school behavior codes implicitly forbid bullying, many codes do not use the term or make explicit our expectations for student behavior.
It is important to make clear that the school expects them to be good citizens, not passive bystanders, if they are aware of bullying or students who appear troubled, possibly from bullying. Developing simple, clear rules about bullying can help to ensure that students are aware of adults' expectations that they refrain from bullying and help students who are bullied.

School rules and policies should be posted and discussed with students and parents. Appropriate consequences also should be developed for not following the school's rules. Bullying tends to thrive in locations where adults are not present or are not vigilant. Once school personnel have identified hot spots for bullying from the student questionnaires, look for creative ways to increase adults' presence in these locations.

Staff should involve parents of affected students whenever possible. It is important that bullying prevention programs include a classroom component.
Teachers with the support of administrators should set aside minutes each week or every other week to discuss bullying and peer relations with students. These meetings help teachers to keep their fingers on the pulse of students' concerns, allow time for candid discussions about bullying and the harm that it can cause, and provide tools for students to address bullying problems. Anti-bullying themes and messages also can be incorporated throughout the school curriculum.
