Integrating Bully Prevention within SWPBIS George Sugai, University of Connecticut Rob Horner, University of Oregon www.pbis.org Robh`@uoregon.edu George.sugai@uconn.edu
Objectives • Define bully prevention need from national, state and district perspective • Define how to build a bully prevention agenda within School-wide PBIS. • Provide examples of states, districts working efficiently and effectively
A Context: Increasing national attention • Whitehouse Forum on Bully Prevention (March, 2011) • Susan M. Swearer, University of Nebraska – Lincoln • Risk Factors • Catherine P. Bradshaw, Johns Hopkins University • Teachers are not prepared on procedures to respond to bullying • Justin W. Patchin, Ph.D. University of Wisconsin-Eau C • Growing role of cyber-bullying • George Sugai, Ph.D., University of Connecticut • Role of school-wide systems in preventing bullying • Dorothy L. Espelage, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign • Bullying and LGBT students; Students with disabilities.
What is Bullying? “Bullying” is repeated aggression, harassment, threats or intimidation when one person has greater status, or power than the other.” Examples:
The Challenge • A growing array of bully prevention procedures (packages) are available • IMPLEMENTATION • Creating something NEW is expensive • Using what you already do well is essential • Focus on core features… add what you need. • Always build data systems to assess and improve

Victim attention • Bystander attention • Self-delivered praise • Tangible access
PREVENTION De-emphasis on adding consequence for problem behavior
Target Initiator Context or Setting Continuum of Behavior Fluency Staff Bystander
MUST….. • Be easy & do-able by all • Be contextually relevant • Result in early disengagement • Increase predictability • Be pre-emptive • Be teachable • Be brief
Big idea: Use PBIS framework to address bully behavior prevention
