ERIC Digest. by Flannery, Daniel, J Creating a school environment that is free of violence and drugs has become a public priority. Over time, the approach taken by schools to prevent violence evolved from quick fix interventions to social control strategies to sophisticated, multi-faceted,and long-term programs. The evolution occurred partly because of necessity: the historical approaches have not worked very well; an increase in student diversity, coupled with overcrowding, is exacerbating tension in schools; and school violence is escalating. There are now a great many different types of violence prevention programs. Some focus on working with individual children identified by teachers or peers as aggressive or at risk for school failure. Others combine a focus on individual and family risk by integrating school-based programs and work with parents and families, peers, or community members. Still other programs integrate an individual risk focus with attempts to change the school environment. Most strive both to increase student social competence and to reduce aggressive behavior. Many prevention programs are demonstrating signs of success, although schools frequently developed them without evidence of their potential, since empirical data on effectiveness is lacking; collecting such information has not been considered a valid use of scarce resources. Now, in order to increase the probability of program success, schools are rethinking this position. Also, as communities struggle to support their schools with decreased budgets, the need for additional monies has increased. But funders will not provide resources for programs, violence prevention included, without quality evaluation data demonstrating their effectiveness and promise.

She notices that one of the girls begins to push the other girl and then pull her hair. As school officials around the country strive to become more savvy about handling violence, they are zeroing in on the critical role of "bystanders": the confidantes of violent youth or those who are present when violence occurs. In most cases of school violence, peers knew beforehand about a planned attack, notes Ron Slaby, a senior scientist in EDC's Health and Human Development Programs . In many cases of averted school violence, he adds, bystanders saw a red flag and took action that effectively prevented a tragedy. "Traditionally," says Slaby, "school interventions were focused exclusively on the aggressor. We used to wag our fingers at them, saying 'don't do that.'" Slaby developed the acclaimed

Center for Civic Education School Violence Prevention Demonstration Program The Center for Civic Education's School Violence Prevention Demonstration Program is a curriculum, training, and research program that provides students with opportunities to engage in high quality civic education and group participation exercises. The program is designed to improve students' civic knowledge, skills, and attitudes. It provides training opportunities for teacher participants that support the curriculum and emphasize critical thinking, cooperative learning, group problem-solving, and performance-based assessment. It also provides research and evaluation of changes in students' civic knowledge and attitudes as they relate to tolerance for the ideas of others; civic responsibility; authority and the law; and social and political institutions. The program began in May 1999, when the Center was awarded a grant from the United States Department of Education to study ways in which civic values and principles might be used to create a positive effect on violence among youth. Research studies had demonstrated that excellent civic education programs, such as the Center's We the People program, could have positive effects on students' attitudes towards society. The 1999-2000 school year pilot implementation of the program in seven large school district sites was premised on that belief and began the attempt to draw attention to ways in which civic education can be used as a violence prevention tool. The expansion of the program since the pilot year has been significant, and the program now includes twenty-one sites in public, private, urban, rural, and Native American school sites.

Understanding School Violence Home Search Contact Us ... What are the assumptions of school violence prevention? What are the alternatives to suspension and expulsion in promoting school safety and reducing student disruption? Despite widespread implementation in response to fears about school violence, there is little data that punitive zero tolerance policies have had a significant effect on improving school safety or student behavior. To identify more effective alternatives, nationally recognized researchers in the field of school violence have begun to look at what works and what doesn't in deterring school violence. Consistently, programs that effectively cut violence are proactive rather than reactive; involve families, students and the community; and include multiple components that can effectively address the complexity of school disruption and violence . Indeed, preventive programs, such as bullying prevention, peer mediation, or anger management, have far more data available to support their effectiveness than do technology-based fixes such as metal detectors or video surveillance cameras Comprehensive prevention can be highly effective in a surprisingly short period of time. In one inner-city school with rates of dropout approaching 70%-80% among minority youth, consultants worked with teachers, helping them increase their rates of praise and reframe classroom rules to be more positive. In one year, school suspensions dropped by 35%, and over the course of the three-year project, school dropout decreased by almost 40%

Position Statement on School Violence Introduction NASP further recognizes that teachers and other educators, including school psychologists, have the potential to be resources for children and youth who experience multiple, chronic risk factors in their lives. The relationships that these children form with adults in the school setting can help them cope with challenges and avoid violence perpetration and/or victimization. It is important to consider the role of such attachment and bonding in promoting and enhancing school violence prevention. Role of the School Psychologist implement prevention and intervention programs designed to reduce aggressive behaviors among youths and others; consult with school staff implementing social skills programs and other programs designed to teach peaceful ways to resolve conflicts; provide group process and consultation to help schools form effective safety planning teams; participate in needs assessment and program evaluation at the school and district levels;

Talk to Your Children Keeping the lines of communication open with your children and teens is an important step to keeping involved in their schoolwork, friends, and activities. Ask open-ended questions and use phrases such as "tell me more" and "what do you think?" Phrases like these show your children that you are listening and that you want to hear more about their opinions, ideas, and how they view the world. Start important discussions with your children—about violence, smoking, drugs, sex, drinking, death—even if the topics are difficult or embarrassing. Don't wait for your children or teens to come to you. . Set Clear Rules and Limits for Your Children Children need clearly defined rules and limits set for them so that they know what is expected of them and the consequences for not complying. When setting family rules and limits, be sure children understand the purpose behind the rules and be consistent in enforcing them. Discipline is more effective if children have been involved in establishing the rules and, oftentimes, in deciding the consequences. Remember to be fair and flexible—as your children grow older, they become ready for expanded rights and changes in rules and limits. Show your children through your actions how to adhere to rules and regulations, be responsible, have empathy toward others, control anger, and manage stress.

The paper then suggests that a better understanding of these factors and the cultural differences that exist within the school environment will help prevent the violence that is so prevalent in schools today. From the Paper: "Recently, there has been an alarming increase in the amount of violence exhibited in the nation's schools. Indeed, the shooting death of a local child in Garfield Middle School last January, although extremely tragic, is only representative of the greater national problem. This event has clearly illustrated that the Lake Washington School District clearly suffers from the same factors that are often linked to incidents of school violence among all schools. Further, it is now apparent that, despite the district's high level of ethnic diversity within the student population, a way must be devised to educate the staff and student body about violence within the school and how it might be avoided."
