Bullying Prevention Program at STEM School
All schools deal with the issue of bullying. Richfield's new STEM school is taking proactive steps to stop and prevent bullying by adopting the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program. This research-based schoolwide "systems-change" program has been used successfully in schools all over the country and around the world with positive results.
This program is not a curriculum that students participate in for only a few weeks. Rather, it is a coordinated effort by all the adults in the school to supervise and intervene when any bullying happens. As part of the program, students will participate in weekly class meetings to learn about the effects of bullying, what they can do about it, and how they can work with adults at school to put a stop to it even as bystanders. Parents will have meetings, too, so they can support the messages students are getting in school. STEM principal Joey Page, said, "This type of program is about changing the whole school climate to make it a safer, more positive place to learn. One change that many schools have noticed after using this program for a year or two is that students actually like school better. It makes sense— it's hard to learn if you're afraid or if other students are mean to you."
Implementing the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program is a long-term commitment to making the new STEM school a safer, more positive place to be. For more information about the program and/or ways to become involved, contact Joey Page, principal at 612-798-6601 or email at .
