Bullying is a complex problem, requiring everyone in a school community to be part of the solution: students, faculty, staff, parents, and families. And because every school is unique - each with its own history, population, and set of strengths and challenges - bullying simply can't be thoroughly and effectively addressed with a pre-packaged, one-size-fits-all method.
The best way to handle bullying is to prevent it in the first place - with a positive, proactive, and finely tuned approach.
We founded the How to Make & Keep Friends Social Success in School Initiative to provide K-12 educators with the tools to create a school-wide culture of collaboration, conflict resolution, empathy and kindness.
With the Social Success in School program, your entire school community will learn how to implement a proactive program that creates a safe, positive school environment - where bullying is far less likely to happen in the first place because of the social success of all students.
The Social Success in Schools Program is a practical, affordable way for schools to:
- Shift thinking throughout the school community regarding children with social and behavioral challenges
- Aid children's social development with proven corrective and guiding phrases
- Create a common language for home and school social education and bullying prevention
- Employ evidence-based approaches and;
- Transform the way children interact with each other
Why does the Social Success in School System work so well?
Our unique approach is to train teachers, paraprofessionals, recess aides, and administrative staff in a comprehensive set of easy-to-implement, actionable ideas and tools they can use immediately to improve the social lives of the children in their classrooms and the entire school. Training is also provided to the wider school community, including students and parents. Each training program is fully customized to meet a school's unique set of needs, interests, and challenges.
Children become more successful behaviorally and socially - and schools become more peaceful - with Social Success In School's student-centered, proactive approach. In turn, students' confidence and self-esteem soar, setting the stage for greater academic achievement - and greater success in life.
