What is different about this program?
• Most Bully Prevention programs focus on the bully and the victim• Inadvertent “teaching of bullying”• Blame the bully• Ignore role of “bystanders”• Initial effects without sustained impact• Expensive effort
• What do we need?• Bully prevention that “fits” with existing behavior support efforts• Bully PREVENTION, not just remediation

Consider the smallest change that could make the biggest impact on bullying…
Remove the praise, attention, recognition that follows bullying
Do this without teaching bullying or denigrating children who engage in bullying

A five part approach to school-wideBully Prevention
1. Establish a whole-school social culture where positive behavior is “expected” and rewards for bullying are NOT provided.
Teach “be respectful” as a basic concept for the school
2. All students know expectations, and can identify the difference between respectful and disrespectful behavior.

3. Establish rules for instruction based on 3-5 school-wide positively stated rules:
Be SafeBe RespectfulBe Responsible
4. Discuss examples (and non-examples) of following school-wide rules in specific settings.
5. Use non-examples (e.g. problem behaviors) from outside the classroom:
Recess, lunch, busses, hallwaysThe word “bully” is never used

Our School Rules:
BE SAFEBE RESPECTFUL
BE RESPONSIBLE
![Page 8: In Positive Behavior Support Bully Prevention An Elementary Anti-Bullying Prevention Program Methacton School District 2011-2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ea05503460f94ba3aa5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Teach: Stop, Walk and Talk
1. STOP : Open hand by shoulder and say “STOP”
2. WALK: Removes the attention for problem behavior
3. TALK: When you have tried to resolve the problem, used the stop signal and have walked away
![Page 9: In Positive Behavior Support Bully Prevention An Elementary Anti-Bullying Prevention Program Methacton School District 2011-2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ea05503460f94ba3aa5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
When you need to TALK, find the closest adult. They will thank you for
coming and ask:
1. What is the problem?
2. Did you say “STOP?”
3. Did you WALK away?
4. Can you go on with your day?
![Page 10: In Positive Behavior Support Bully Prevention An Elementary Anti-Bullying Prevention Program Methacton School District 2011-2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ea05503460f94ba3aa5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
If someone tells you toSTOP!
1. Stop what you are doing
2. Take a deep breath and count to 3
3. Go on with your day!

Talking vs. Tattling
Talking is when student has used the Stop and Walk steps.
Tattling is when student does not use the steps.
If a student is in danger, the stop and walk steps should be skipped and talking to an adult should happen immediately.

I like the common language created throughout the district.
I like the program. I think it gives students steps to take without labeling anybody and helps take the focus away from the problem behaviors.
It is nice that the whole school is on the same page. I love that we are taking the focus off of the bully and instead giving all students tools to use.

My kinder was playing outside and he came in and told me he was having a problem with another child. I offered to help him and he said that he used the stop sign and already solved it himself!
My family practices the stop walk and talk at the dinner table.
The lesson on gossiping really made an impression on my daughter. She told me all about it and even wanted to act out some of the things that she would do if people spoke unkindly about someone else.
