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.
