Whole Child Approach to Bullying Prevention

ASCD (Association for Supervision & Curriculum Development) advocates reforms that include classroom rules, procedures, and expectations designed to promote acceptable social interaction. Information on the reforms can be found in the Healthy School Report, 2^nd Edition. The Report looks at school climate in relationship to “attendance, engagement, empowerment, ownership, teaching, and learning”. ASCD includes whole child indicators, which help with assessment, goals and decision-making related to creating healthy school environments.  The Association’s Whole Child Blog targeted bullying during September/October 2011, and as a result, has published the Bullying Roundup, an online page containing some of comments from the blog.
