Although they vary in size and scope, the most promising programs incorporate the following characteristics: • A focus on creating a school-wide environment, or climate that discourages bullying, • Surveys of students to assess the nature and extent of bullying behavior and attitudes toward bullying, • Training to prepare staff to recognize and respond to bullying, • Development of consistent rules against bullying, • Review and enhancement of the school’s disciplinary code related to bullying behavior, • Classroom activities to discuss issues related to bullying, • Integration of bullying prevention themes across the curriculum, • Individual and group work with children who have been bullied, • Individual work with children who have bullied their peers, • Involvement of parents in bullying prevention and intervention activities, and • Use of teacher or staff groups to increase staff knowledge and motivation related to bullying.
