Our Plan for Today

The following slides are based on information from:

How PBIS Addresses Bullying:

PBIS focuses on instructing the whole school population the expected behaviors and then providing additional reinforcement to students that require that help. Initiating a program to address bullying will be more effective IF the school already has a FIRM FOUNDATION of school-wide behavioral expectations.

A Bully Prevention Manual may be found on PBIS.org.

Six Key Features of Bully Prevention in Positive Behavior Support

• 1. The use of empirically-tested instructional principles to teach expected

behavior outside the classroom to all students.

• 2. The monitoring and acknowledgement of students for engaging in

appropriate behavior outside the classroom.

• 3. An effort to prevent bullying behavior from being rewarded by victims or

bystanders.

• 4. The correction of problem behaviors using a consistently administered

continuum of consequences.

• 5. The use of information about student behavior to evaluate and guide

decision making.

• 6. The establishment of a team that develops, implements, and manages the

BP-PBIS effort in a school.

Top 10 Strategies for Effective Bullying Prevention:

• Focus on the whole school environment
• Assess bullying at your school
• Garner staff/parent support
• Form a group at school to coordinate bullying prevention/

intervention activities

• Provide training for ALL staff members
• Establish and enforce school rules and policies regarding bullying
• Increase adult supervision in “hot spots” for bullying
• Intervene consistently and appropriately in bullying incidents
• Focus some classroom time on bullying prevention and

intervention

• Continue efforts over time

School-wide Recognition

Little River students earn individual “Eagle Feathers” to put towards meeting the school-wide goal. A goal is set multiple times throughout the year and we all work TOGETHER to find out the AMAZING prize. Previous prizes have been:

• Popsicles at outdoor lunch
• Astronaut assembly
• Sit where you like lunches
• Pep Rally/Song contest
• Hula parade
• Red carpet event

How did the lessons begin?

• Bullying specific lessons were developed for

each grade level. Lessons were conducted by the School Counselor.

• Signage was developed and displayed in each

elementary school throughout the county.

• Data is routinely collected

for evaluation purposes.

STOP, WALK & TALK

• Loudoun County based curriculum ideas
• n the PBIS Bully Prevention Manual.
• We have a STOP – WALK – TALK

protocol in our school and across Loudoun County to confront bullying problems. First tell the person to stop firmly, next walk away if necessary, and finally let a trusted adult know what is going on.
