13. Coordinate with other schools in your district: Students will do best if they receive
consistent bullying prevention training throughout their schooling as they move through grade
levels and among schools.
Assess the extent of the problem: Administer separate school wide surveys to students and
staff members to identify prevalence, attitudes, knowledge, gaps in perception, and specific
areas or aspects of the problem that you may need to target, such as locations or times when
bullying occurs most often and particular concerns such as sexual harassment or "cyber
bullying.“
Establish a coordinating team. This group will help develop and implement school wide
activities. Select individuals who are knowledgeable about the issue and respected in the school
community and who are good communicators and consensus builders (include a mental health
professional, parents, and students). A separate specially trained team should provide intensive
interventions to individual students.
Involve the entire school community: Be prepared for some initial resistance. Staff
members may not see a need for a program or may feel overwhelmed at the thought of adding
yet another objective to the year. Students may be skeptical if bullying has persisted for a long
time. Parents may be concerned about diverting resources from the core curriculum or
unconvinced that all students, including their child, will benefit by learning anti-bullying skills.
Elicit regular input and provide consistent information to all groups.
