Bullying
Multifaceted and comprehensive approach to address every unique form of bullying
Bullying
There is no profile of a student who bullies, yet bullying intervention often takes a one-size-fits-all approach that is not effective in eliminating bullying behavior. This professional development teaches how to take a multi-tiered approach to the problem of bullying. Universal procedures address schoolwide concerns, such as a chaotic or punitive school climate or lack of supervision. Bullying training provided through Safe & Civil Schools helps schools and districts:
- Develop strategies for intervening with students who bully and students who are targeted.
- Establish settings, policies, and procedures to prevent bullying and ensure a coordinated, effective response to incidents.
- Educate students, families, and staff about bullying.
- Monitor student behavior effectively and gather data on bullying incidents.
- Engage positively with students to enhance connection, involvement, and responsible behavior.
- Address bullying incidents promptly and effectively.

In addition to tailored training on addressing bullying, Safe & Civil Schools can include bullying-specific efforts as part of a district- or school-level Foundations training. Foundations supports schools and districts in designing a proactive and positive schoolwide discipline plan, establishing a positive school climate and culture, and addressing all aspects of school safety, student motivation, and academic engagement.
Tackling bullying with a multifaceted approach
Creating a Comprehensive Intervention
A Safe & Civil Schools comprehensive intervention to address bullying provides a multifaceted approach that targets both students who engage in bullying and those who are targeted. By implementing intervention strategies for students who bully, schools can create an environment that discourages harmful behaviors and promotes positive social interactions.
There are many strategies that make up a Safe & Civil Schools comprehensive training on bullying. Setting-event strategies help identify conditions that make bullying more likely, allowing educators to make proactive changes to the school environment. Antecedent strategies address triggers for bullying behavior, helping staff anticipate and prevent incidents before they occur. Teaching strategies equip students with positive replacement behaviors, ensuring they have the tools to interact with peers in a respectful and constructive manner. To reinforce these behaviors, positive consequence strategies provide incentives for students to make better choices, while corrective consequence strategies ensure consistent responses when bullying does happen, making it clear that such behavior will not be tolerated.
Supporting students who are targeted by bullying is equally important in fostering a safe and inclusive school culture. By helping these students recognize, respond to, and report bullying, schools empower them to take an active role in their own well-being. Encouraging engagement in school activities strengthens their sense of belonging and provides opportunities for positive peer connections. Additionally, targeted interventions can focus on developing social and coping skills to help students navigate challenging situations more effectively. For students who need additional support, assessments and referrals to mental health services or other resources ensure that they receive the care necessary to build resilience and recover from the effects of bullying.
By integrating these strategies into a cohesive intervention plan, schools create a structured and effective system for preventing and responding to bullying. A balanced approach that addresses both the behavior of those who bully and the needs of those who are targeted ensures that interventions are not only reactive but also preventive. Staff training and consistent policy enforcement further reinforce these strategies, helping to establish a school culture where bullying is actively discouraged and all students feel safe, valued, and supported.
