| Summary |
"This book serves as a guide for readers interested in improving school climate. Using fifteen years of consultation and research in a variety of U.S. and foreign schools, the authors strip down the elements needed to create a healthy and productive school climate. The book challenges many commonly held notions about violence prevention and outlines a simple and inexpensive formula for creating sustained change in any school. The book stresses understanding of the underlying processes involved in the bully-victim-bystander power dynamics, the value of altruism, and the use of natural leaders to begin and sustain change in any school."--BOOK JACKET |
