Bullying Prevention for Principals (Paperback)

Bullying Prevention for Principals is a research based, school-wide bullying prevention program for elementary and middle school. It is written specifically from the principal's point of view and provides the critical information and help needed to develop a comprehensive and effective bullying prevention program. It includes best practices, best methods and best materials and covers such broad topics as the big prevention picture, elements of a quality program, implementation models and classroom reinforcement. Care has been taken to provide information that can be used by administrators directly. The kinds of questions that it was assumed principals would be confronted with were: What do I need to know? What should the total program look like? What specific materials and resources should be used? Have the concepts and practices been successful in other schools? What steps should be taken first? How should the program be implemented? These questions and many others like them were taken into consideration as this program was being developed. Some of the important topics covered in detail include district policy, school rules, culture development, prevention and intervention training, parent and student involvement the handling of bullying complaints, help for victims and help for bullies. The appendix contains a great many resources, an extensive bibliography, and complete surveys that can be used directly to obtain valuable insight and feedback from students, parents, faculty and staff. The author served as principal for twenty-three years at the high school, middle school and elementary levels. Having worked in all three areas, he understands the issues facing principals today, as well as the critical role that administrators play in resolving these problems. He is also acutely aware of the time constraints, pressures, and heavy responsibilities that school principals are under. This book is based on research dealing with bullying and harassment issues by noted authors and practitioners. It is an effort to try to assist principals with the task of developing a comprehensive and effective bullying prevention program for their school, while still attending to all of the demands pressed upon them each day. It is expected that principals will find the book especially helpful because it provides in one place the concentrated information essential for putting together a quality total bullying prevention program for their school and it does so by looking at the whole subject specifically from the principal's perspective. It is the author's sincere hope that, as a result, vulnerable children can be spared the senseless grief and danger that bullying and harassment creates.
