The 6Rs of Bullying Prevention
The 6Rs of Bullying Prevention utilizes the strongest pieces of best practices and current research for ways to stop bullying. Presented in a practical, six-part framework for reducing peer cruelty and increasing positive behavior support, it includes guidelines for implementing strategies, collecting data, training staff, mobilizing students and parents, building social-emotional skills, and sustaining progress. Used on its own or to supplement an existing anti-bullying program, this is what a school, a classroom, or an educator needs to prevent bullying and promote kindness. The 6Rs of bullying prevention—Rules, Recognize, Report, Respond, Refuse, and Replace—are not a program, but a comprehensive process for reducing bullying from the inside out, involving the entire school community. Bullying prevention expert Michele Borba, who’s worked with over 1 million parents and educators worldwide, offers realistic, research-based strategies and advice. Digital content includes customizable forms from the book and a PDF presentation for use in professional development.
