Innovative European Bullying Prevention Program

 

Addison Mizner Elementary School and Don Estridge High Tech Middle School in Palm Beach County, Fla. are testing the Olweus (pronounced Ol-VEY-us) Bullying Prevention Program. This holistic approach to reducing bullying has proven successful in Norway, Germany, South Carolina and Philadelphia. The Olweus program targets younger students in order to curb aggressive behaviors before they escalate. Students, teachers, administrators and parents work together.
