Extractions: As school officials around the country strive to become more savvy about handling violence, they are zeroing in on the critical role of "bystanders": the confidantes of violent youth or those who are present when violence occurs. In most cases of school violence, peers knew beforehand about a planned attack, notes Ron Slaby, a senior scientist in EDC's Health and Human Development Programs. In many cases of averted school violence, he adds, bystanders saw a red flag and took action that effectively prevented a tragedy. "Traditionally," says Slaby, "school interventions were focused exclusively on the aggressor. We used to wag our fingers at them, saying 'don't do that.'" Slaby developed the acclaimed Aggressors, Victims, and Bystanders (AVB) curriculum, which aims to change the roles students play in potentially violent situations. The majority of students are not aggressors, according to Slaby. Most students-in fact, most people-are bystanders to violence. "We are a nation of bystanders," he says. Typically, bystanders passively accept violence, or they overtly encourage it. Both responses, suggests Slaby, are habitual patterns of thought and behavior established long ago.

Extractions: Violence and Discipline Problems in U.S. Public Schools: 1996-97 See also Indicators of School Crime and Safety: 2002 A majority of public school principals (78 percent) reported having some type of formal school violence prevention or reduction programs (tables 25 and 26). The percentage of schools with both 1-day and ongoing programs (43 percent) was almost double the percentage of schools with only ongoing programs (24 percent) and quadruple the percentage of schools with only 1-day programs (11 percent). Schools in which a serious crime was reported were more likely to have violence prevention programs than those in which no crime or only less serious crime had occurred (93 percent compared with 74 and 79 percent, respectively; tables 25 and 27). Schools with serious crime also had more programs per school. They reported a mean of 6 programs per school compared with 3.4 violence prevention programs in schools with no crime or lesser crimes only (table 27). In some public schools, incidents during 1996-97 requiring police contact were used to modify or introduce new violence prevention programs. Of schools with violence prevention programs that had reported one or more crimes in 1996-97, 31 percent had used these incidents to introduce or modify their violence prevention programs (table 28).

Extractions: M ost violence prevention programs represent thoughtful responses to violence and disorganization in the schools and to the resulting escalation of fear. However, the majority of these programs are offered without any evidence of their effectiveness. This is one of the major reasons Congress has restricted funding for drug and violence prevention programs in schools to those that can provide positive outcome-evaluation data. Therefore, program evaluation plays an important part in helping to reduce school violence. Evaluation can guide effective program implementation; enable schools to demonstrate the value of the program to parents, sources of funding, and the community; and influence the formation and implementation of social policy, both locally and nationally. Types of Evaluation The three most basic questions pertaining to any intervention program are What are the program's results?

Extractions: Note: You must install Adobe Acrobat Reader to view PDF files. The vast majority of schools in the United States are safe places, and in recent years they have become even safer. Safe schools are essential to young people's ability to learn and develop healthy relationships. The overall rates of violence in schools have fallen, and students feel safer in schools today than they have for several years. In fact, students are much less likely to come to harm at school than away from school. However, some schools do have serious crime and violence problems, and many students, teachers, and parents continue to have grave concerns about safety in schools. To address these concerns, Federal agencies are working together to address the problem of violence in schools. A great deal of media attention has been directed to school shootings in recent years. However, school-associated violent deaths remain rare events. In the 1998-99 school year, less than 2 percent of the murders of children and youth in the United States were school-related. A total of 38 school-related homicides occurred that school year, and 33 of those deaths were homicides of school-aged children and youth.

School Violence Prevention & Conflict Resolution
Resolving Conflict Creatively in the School Community. The video shows highlightsof a workshop with real students, parents, and school staff (no actors!).
http://www.triune.ca/rcc1.htm

Extractions: Synopsis Reviews "Negotiation" addresses the issues of interpersonal conflict and outlines a five-step conflict solving approach that can be used to work out conflicts without the aid of a third party. It also demonstrates how to conduct role-playing. In, "Mediation" , peer mediators demonstrate in detail a four phase mediation process and encounter two circumstances where the process breaks down - when dealing with issues of alleged sexual harassment and racism. These two videos employ real students, parents and, school staff as participants in a workshop exploring negotiation and mediation skills under the guidance of a prominent workshop leader. The workshop footage is intercut with a series of dramatic "vignettes" that provide the viewer with an "eye witness" glimpse of the conflicts that the workshop participants will explore later through role-playing. To emphasize that conflicts at school are interrelated with conflicts in the greater community (which includes the home) the video begins with a conflict between Sophie (16) and patronizing "big" brother (18). At the same time, their parents are arguing in another room, and eventually this conflict spills into a confrontation between Sophie and her mother. Sophie is later seen arriving at her school workshop on conflict resolution where she becomes actively involved in the learning process.

Extractions: Wednesday, September 22, 1999 LUBBOCK - Texas Attorney General John Cornyn and Texas Education Commissioner Jim Nelson held the second meeting of the Attorney General's School Violence Prevention Task Force today in Lubbock. The first meeting was held in July in San Antonio. One of the goals of the Task Force includes ensuring that every school district has a crisis management plan. "Since, by some accounts, less than ten percent of Texas school districts have a crisis management plan in place, there is obviously a need for practical advice. There is no excuse not to be prepared," Cornyn said. "As the father of a public high school student, I'm encouraged by what I've heard today. The practical advice of these experts will give our schools the programs and strategies to make our schools safe," Cornyn added. The task force meeting included testimony from Dr. Margaret Dunn from the Texas School Safety Center, Sally Larkins, Director of Guidance and Counseling for Lubbock I.S.D. Lubbock High School Principal Ken Wallace, and Paige Holder, a 1999 graduate of Monterrey High School in Lubbock. The Task Force is organized into three groups. The first group will focus primarily on student and parent issues such as parental awareness, peer pressure and teen alienation. Another group will focus on school issues such as conflict resolution, crisis management plans and security policies. The third group will focus on related community-wide issues such as media violence, gangs and the need for after-school and weekend activities.

Extractions: PREVENTION TASK FORCE MEETING SAN ANTONIO - Texas Attorney General John Cornyn and Texas Education Commissioner Mike Moses held the first meeting of the Attorney General's School Violence Prevention Task Force today at the University of Texas at San Antonio. One of the goals of the Task Force includes ensuring that every school district has a crisis management plan. "Since, by some accounts, less than ten percent of Texas school districts have a crisis management plan in place, there is obviously a need for practical advice. There is no excuse not to be prepared," Cornyn said. "As the father of two public high school students, I'm encouraged by what I've heard today. The practical advice of these experts will give our schools the programs and strategies to make our schools safe," Cornyn added. Task Force co-chair Mike Moses said, "This Task Force facilitates a constructive dialogue between parents, community leaders, teachers and principals in sharing workable solutions to school violence. It also gives them the resources available to prepare for the possibility that students today may act in a violent manner." Task Force members expected to attend include Senator Florence Shapiro and Representative Henry Cuellar. The 22 member Task Force is comprised of teachers, principals, school superintendents, parents and law enforcement officials from across the state.
