2
A Context: Increasing national attention
• Whitehouse Forum on Bully Prevention (March, 2011)• Susan M. Swearer, University of Nebraska – Lincoln
• Risk Factors
• Catherine P. Bradshaw, Johns Hopkins University• Teachers are not prepared on procedures to respond to bullying
• Justin W. Patchin, Ph.D. University of Wisconsin-Eau C• Growing role of cyber-bullying
• George Sugai, Ph.D., University of Connecticut• Role of school-wide systems in preventing bullying
• Dorothy L. Espelage, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign• Bullying and LGBT students; Students with disabilities.

White House Conference On Bullying Prevention – Obama, Duncan, Experts Weigh In
March 10, 2011
Bullying Behavior The National School Safety Center (NSSC) called bullying
the most enduring and underrated problem in U.S. schools.
(Beale, 2001)
Nearly 30 percent of students have reported being involved in bullying as either a perpetrator or a victim.
(Nansel, et al., 2001; Swearer & Espelage, 2004).
Victims and perpetrators of bullying are more likely to skip and/or drop out of school.
(Berthold & Hoover, 2000; Neary & Joseph, 1994)
Victims and perpetrators of bullying are more likely to suffer from underachievement and sub-potential performance in employment settings.
(Carney & Merrell, 2001; NSSC, 1995).

The LogicWhy invest in Bully Prevention?• Involvement in bullying is a cross-cultural phenomenon
(Jimerson, Swearer, & Espelage, 2010)
• Bullying is NOT done by a small number of students who are socially and emotionally isolated. Bullying is common across socio-economic status, gender, race, grade, and class.
• Bradshaw, et al., 2010
• Many bully prevention programs are either ineffective, only show change in verbal behavior, or inadvertently result in increases in relational aggression and bullying.
• Merrell et al., 2008 6

Office of Civil Rights: Recognition of Intensity
There is a level of bullying and harassment where the behavior
of a student(s) creates a “hostile environment” for another
student(s). When this occurs the school is obliged to not just
“problem solve” a solution, but to engage in immediate and
substantive efforts to protect the “at risk” student(s).
When Bullying or harassment target a student from a protected
class (race/ethnicity, disability, at-risk).
Bully Prevention in Positive Behavior Support:The Foundation
• Bullying behavior occurs in many forms, and locations, but typically involves student-student interactions.• Bullying is seldom maintained by feedback from adults
• What rewards Bullying Behavior?• Likely many different rewards are effective• Most common are:
• Attention from bystanders• Attention and reaction of “victim”• Self-delivered praise• Obtain items or Activity

Bully Behavior
• Identify the specific BEHAVIOR(S) of concern
• Identify the context or conditions where the behavior is most likely
• In that context… ask why the behavior keeps occurring? What does the student get or avoid?
• ----------------------------------------------------------------• Context Behavior Reward 10

Why invest in School-wide bully prevention?• Most Bully Prevention programs focus on the bully and the
victim• Problem #1: Inadvertent “teaching of bullying”• Problem #2: Blame the bully• Problem #3: Ignore role of “bystanders”• Problem #4: Initial effects without sustained impact.• Problem #5: Expensive effort
• What do we need?• Bully prevention that “fits” with existing behavior support efforts• Bully PREVENTION, not just remediation• Bully prevention that is sustainable.

Elements of Effective Bully Prevention
14
School-wide PBIS
Data Use
Bully Prevention Logic
Faculty Implementation
Student Use of BP-PBIS
Advanced Support
Core Features of an Effective Bully Prevention Effort.
Five Student Skills For Faculty/Staff
• School-wide behavioral expectations (respect)
• Stop routine when faced with disrespectful behavior
• Bystander stop routine when observing disrespectful behavior
• Stopping routine if someone tells you to “stop”
• A recruit help routine to recruit adult help if you feel unsafe.
• Agreement on logic for bully prevention effort.
• Strategy for teaching students core skills
• Strategy for follow-up and consistency in responding
• Clear data collection and data use process
• Advanced support options

Delivering Bully Prevention in Positive Behavior Support
• Establish a positive school-wide culture• Common expectations for all• Teach “be respectful”
• All students can tell the difference between respectful and disrespectful behavior.
17
Teach the “Stop Signal”
• If someone is directing problem behavior to you, or someone else, tell them to “stop.”
• Review how the stop signal should look and sound• Firm hand signal• Clear voice
18
19
Discuss how showing/saying “stop” could be done so it still
rewarded disrespectful
behavior
Discuss WHY as well as WHATDiscuss why students behave disrespectfully
Peer attention comes in many forms:• Arguing with someone that teases you• Laughing at someone being picked on• Watching problem behavior and doing nothing
• Stop rewarding behavior that is disrespectful.
The flame under a glass… remove the oxygen
Stop, Walk, Talk• A clear, simple, and easy to remember 3 step response
20
Teach “walk away”
Sometimes, even when students tell others to “stop”, problem behavior will continue. When this happens, students are to "walk away" from the problem behavior.
• Remember that walking away removes the reward for disrespectful behavior
• Teach students to encourage one another when they use the appropriate response
21
Teach “getting help”Even when students use “stop” and they “walk away” from
the problem, sometimes students will continue to behave inappropriately toward them. When that happens, students should "talk" to an adult.
• Report problems to adults• Where is the line between tattling, and reporting?
• “Reporting/Talking" is when you have tried to solve the problem yourself, and have used the "stop" and "walk" steps first:
• Tattling is when you do not use the "stop" and "walk away" steps before "talking" to an adult
• Tattling is when your goal is to get the other person in trouble
22
Teaching a “Stopping Routine”• Eventually, every student will be told to stop.
When this happens, they should do the following things• Stop what they are doing • Take a deep breath• Go about their day (no big deal)
• These steps should be followed even when they don’t agree with the “stop” message.

“Stop” means stop.
The rule is: If someone asks you to stop,
you stop.
Activity
• 1. What is a “stop” signal/ routine that would work for your school?
• 2. What is a “stopping routine” that would work for your school?
25
How Adults RespondWhen any problem behavior is reported, adults follow a specific
response sequence:Reinforce the student for reporting the problem behavior (i.e. "I'm glad
you told me.")
Ask who, what, when and where.
Ensure the student’s safety. Is the bullying still happening? Is the reporting child at risk? Fear of revenge? What does the student need to feel safe? What is the severity of the situation
"Did you tell the student to stop?" (If yes, praise the student for using an appropriate response. If no, practice)
"Did you walk away from the problem behavior?" (If yes, praise student for using appropriate response. If no, practice.)
