About this title

Synopsis

This guide provides professionals charged with reducing bullying and making schools safer with practical solutions for creating and implementing monitoring systems that use multiple sources of data. Including examples of how monitoring works, the authors advocate for an ongoing cycle that involves collecting information from multiple audiences about what is taking place in and around schools. Mapping, which gives school leaders, students, and staff members a visual record of safe and unsafe areas on the campus, is described along with other methods of gathering, analyzing, and sharing feedback.

About the Author

Ron Avi Astor, PhD, MA, MSW, is Stein-Wood Professor of School Behavioral Health at the Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work in the University of Southern California. His work examines the role of the physical, social-organizational, and cultural contexts in schools related to school violence (e.g., sexual harassment, bullying, school fights, emotional abuse, weapon use, and teacher/child violence), and has documented the ecological influences of the family, community, school, and culture on different forms of school violence. Currently, Dr. Astor is applying knowledge gained from these prior studies to improve climate in military-connected schools.

Rami Benbenishty, PhD, MSW, is Professor at the Louis & Gabi Weisfeld School of Social work in Bar Ilan University. His main area of academic focus is the safety, welfare, and well-being of children in community normative settings (such as schools) and in out-of-home placements (such as foster homes) and residential care. Dr. Benbenishty is an advocate for children's rights in Israel and around the globe.
