No Place for Bullying: Leadership for Schools That Care for Every Student

By James E. Dillon

Book Overview

Discover the keys to successful bullying prevention

No Place for Bullying describes the paradigm shifts a school administrator needs to create in order to develop and lead a schoolwide bully prevention program. Preventing and counteracting bullying should be a top priority for every school leader, but anti-bullying efforts often fail because they do not have full support from all stakeholders, including parents.

This accessible book makes it easy to implement the three critical components of effective leadership for bullying prevention:

The WILL to address the problemThe SKILL to lead others to help reduce and prevent bullyingThe FOLLOW-THROUGH to ensure that anti-bullying policies are established and sustained

Filled with activities and examples, No Place for Bullying provides the tools to inspire the cultural shift necessary to combat bullying in schools. Ensure that bullying prevention becomes an ongoing and established part of your school′s culture and climate by becoming an instrument of change
