January 2012 from Greg Seawell, Principal, Melrose Area Elementary: "I'm amazed at the depth of understanding the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program training provided our team."
Do you have a bullying problem in your school?
You may
not think you do, but ask your students. Adults tend to
overestimate their effectiveness in identifying bullying and
intervening. In one study that videotaped
interactions on the playground, 90% of teachers said they intervened ALL
the
time on the playground. The videotape showed they intervened only 5% of
the
time when bullying was occurring.
The Olweus
(Ol-vay-us) Bullying Questionnaire is a research-based tool that can
help you
find out if you have a bullying problem at your school. To order the
questionnaire, visit MESPA's Minnesota Bullying Prevention Initiative Bookstore.
