Bullying Prevention 101 for Schools: Dos and Don’ts
by Susan Swearer, Mia Doces, Lisa Jones, and Anne Collier

This document provides a list of dos and don’ts for schools in developing anti-bullying practices and policies. The purpose of this document is to provide concrete ways in which schools 1) can assess if they’re doing the right things; 2) have tactical recommendations aimed at improving their school culture, curricula, and school policies. Findings are grounded in research findings on actions and activities that have been shown to help schools improve anti-bullying efforts.

Implementing Bullying Prevention Programs in Schools: A How-To Guide
by Lisa Jones, Mia Doces, Susan Swearer, and Anne Collier

This document represents a “how to” guide for schools trying to determine how to implement effective bullying prevention and intervention programming. It offers ideas on how to think about the process and how to identify and evaluate the right program for their community.

Changing the Culture: Ideas for Student Action
by Anne Collier, Susan Swearer, Mia Doces, and Lisa Jones

The purpose of this document is to provide positive action items that students can take to make their schools and communities healthier places and to challenge meanness and cruelty. It is presented as a list of ideas. While none of these initiatives have been evaluated, they are grounded in a research-driven understanding of interventions, practices, and actions that can be helpful in improving school culture.

(2) Researcher seeks HS students age 16+ for online survey “about [their] high school experiences, development, and everyday lives”

 

My name is Nicholas Heck and I am a graduate student at The University of Montana. I am asking for your help in recruiting high school students, age 16 or older, to complete an anonymous, online survey.

 

If you are 16 or older and in high school, please help me with an important psychology research study!!!! Your input could improve the lives of LGBTQQ youth and you can win gift cards for taking an online survey!!!! http://psychweb.psy.umt.edu/absurveys/highschool

 

If you are not 16 or older and in high school, you can help by reposting the study information on your Facebook wall. http://psychweb.psy.umt.edu/absurveys/highschool
