Expand bully prevention initiatives school-wide. Efforts to prevent bullying are efforts toward reducing school violence. Strides toward changing a school's social climate and norms of behavior require commitment and effort from all staff. Setting high standards for students, as well as teachers, is a start. Effective programs include the rewarding of pro-social behaviors, creating a peer-support and mediation group, and developing an anonymous means of reporting acts of bullying. Additional intervention requires a system of documenting incidents with follow-up counseling for aggressive students.
