November is Bullying Prevention Month: Bully Bust Your Community

What is BullyBust?

A nationwide bully prevention awareness effort launched by NSCC in 2009, BullyBust is designed to help students and adults become “upstanders”—people who stand up to bullying and become part of the solution to end harmful harassment, teasing, and violence in our nation's schools. BullyBust promotes valuable free supports to help schools-in-need put an end to bullying with targeted school-wide and classroom-based efforts. This site includes research-based resources for students, parents, and educators for addressing bullying incidences effectively and creating a culture of upstanders inside and out of school.

Join BULLYBUST to make your voice count in a community-led concerted effort to REDUCE bullying in schools! Through this campaign, you will have an opportunity to SHARE your stories, PLEDGE your commitment to the cause, GAIN ACCESS to key supports, and CREATE a school-wide effort of hope and solidarity.

Sue Scheff: School Climate - Keeping Connect to Your Schools Issues

About School Climate

Our goal is to promote positive and sustained school climate: a safe, supportive environment that nurtures social and emotional, ethical, and academic skills.

CSEE is an organization that helps schools integrate crucial social and emotional learning with academic instruction. In doing so, we enhance student performance, prevent drop outs, reduce physical violence, bullying, and develop healthy and positively engaged adults.

For more than a decade CSEE has worked together with the entire academic community—teacher, staff, school-based mental health professionals, students and parents—to improve a climate for learning.

We help translate research into practice by establishing meaningful and relevant guidelines, programs and services that support a model for whole school improvement with a focus on school climate.

What a fantastic organization and very timely!!!! Visit www.schoolclimate.org today!
