This guide is designed to address the creation, implementation and evaluation of a school-wide bullying prevention program. Curriculums that are carefully designed and put into practice can improve a school's climate by enlightening staff and students to realize and respond to bullying occurrences.

Bullying is found in every school in the country. More than 20% of American children report being bullied during their elementary and secondary school educations. Bullying prevention programs are school-wide efforts designed to send the message that this type of behavior will not be tolerated in school.
