The goal of this site is to help you prevent bullying and other antisocial behaviors by changing the climate in your school. The information here is organized with the notion that current efforts to prevent bullying have been in earnest, but only mildly effective. This is a site for educators who feel the need to do more and are looking for new ideas to prevent antisocial behaviors in their school.
That said, we should all recognize the efforts that have brought us this far. Since the Columbine tragedy in 1999 real progress has been made in the identification of bullying as a pariah, physically and emotionally injuring our school children. This in turn has created a variety of prevention and skill-building programs from which school districts can choose.
Yet with so many bullying resources becoming available the results for most schools should be better.
On this site we hope to be a catalyst for new thinking that helps you make significant changes in your school's climate and culture. To learn more about our model called A Climate of Respect, download a free ebook and read our Climate Roadmap #1 article. If your district or building wants to begin a prevention initiative, look at our 1-day Prevention Leadership Training for Educators.
