Target Population - Elementary Schools
Every school, everywhere wants to be sure their students learn in a safe and supportive environment. We know there are students who come to school who don’t feel safe. They feel threatened by their peers. We have to make it stop. We have to create a school culture where every student is accepted for who they are and where there is support for those who feel threatened AND for those who are being hurtful to others.
No educator would argue that there isn’t enough time in a school day. We have many responsibilities to our students and parents. Yet, we can’t let time be an excuse for not creating a safe school. Our students deserve to learn in a safe environment. Instead, we need to be smart with our time, so what we are doing is effective and meaningful. This process guide will give you steps to follow to select the best intervention tool for bullying and youth violence prevention programs in your elementary school. The guide is meant to be used just as it is called, as a guide. It will guide you through steps in the planning, implementing and evaluating stages, while providing links to helpful resources.
This guide is modeled after the EDC - 3 Bold Steps and the Rand Corporation's: Getting to Outcomes (GTO). You can find links to both of these below in the "References" sections. I have an example "BeckJ - Assignment 4" of using both the 3 Bold Steps and GTO as process guides with actual evidence programs in a theoretical situation.

PlanningThe planning stage is where a team is gathered, a needs assessment is completed, goals and plans are developed and how to share with others is developed and communicated.
|
ImplementingThe implementation stage is when you answer the important questions of who, what, when, where and how. This is where you compare and contrast best practices in bullying prevention and make a plan of action.
|
EvaluatingThe evaluation stage is when you see if the program is being delivered with fidelity and if it is producing the desired outcomes. This is also where discussions take place of how the program can sustain over time.
