School Safety from the National Education Association
Students learn best and achieve their full potential in safe and orderly classrooms. This positive academic environment begins with safe families and safe communities.

The National Education Association (NEA) and its affiliates are working to address the root causes of violence among students. Toward that end, they are sharing effective strategies to:

  • Reduce and eliminate bullying and harassment
  • Expand access to counseling, anger management and peer mediation
  • Provide ways for students to communicate with adults about rumors and threats
  • Develop instruction that teaches values like respect and responsibility, and expand opportunities for kids to work with adult role models in after-school education and recreation programs.
