School-wide Bully Prevention Plan
How do your school-wide expectations/rules relate to teaching bully prevention? (e.g., Respect, Kindness, Thoughtful)
- “KYHFOOTY” addresses physical respect and “Be Kind” addresses the social skills to promote bully prevention.
How do you incorporate bully prevention in teaching your school-wide expectations to students and staff? (Include student leadership involvement.) Examples:

- Video lessons or PowerPoints used for teaching behavior expectations
- Creating a campaign using student body officers or creating student leadership positions for the express purpose of improving school climate and culture
- Data collection on student behavior tracking both positive and negative student behaviors (student driven data collection in secondary schools)
