How Communities Build Stronger Schools
If it takes a village to raise a child, Anne Wescott Dodd and Jean L. Konzal feel that it takes a community to make a school. Not content with the idea of a school being contained within four walls and existing only for a few hours every day, Dodd and Konzal know that a school which looks after the complete child exists far beyond its four walls and for the whole 24 hours in each day. They present a radical democratic vision of the public school where everyone not just students, teachers and parents plays a part in shaping our children and, consequently, our future.
Reframing Bullying Prevention to Build Stronger School Communities
Tackle underlying issues to get to the root of bullying By reframing bullying prevention, you can make significant progress in addressing the underlying issues causing bullying and aggression in your school. In this resource, James Dillon digs into the work that busy educators often have little time for: translating rich and insightful research on the dynamics of change into practical terms. He probes deeply into the issues and why they persist in our schools to promote meaningful conversation among school staff and parents. Inside you’ll find Vignettes, analogies, and real-life examples along with tools that illustrate the benefits of using alternative methods to prevent bullying Discussion on transforming the role of discipline to reframe bullying among teachers, administrators, and students Key ideas and concepts summarized in easy-to-understand bullet points and charts Guidance on how to establish a school climate that promotes empathy and compassion instead of fear Reframing bullying prevention will allow competent and caring educators, students, and parents to not just stop bullying, but to improve the learning environment for all students. "With bullying in our schools intensifying and becoming a dangerous detriment to both the learning process and to the self-esteem of our students, James Dillon provides sound strategies and realistic conversations that must become integral to the reduction and prevention of bullying in the schools." —Lori L. Grossman, Educational Consultant Houston, TX "While this book focuses on bullying prevention, the reframing process will change much more! Following the author’s ideas has the potential to dramatically and positively reframe a school culture to match the needs of the 21st century learners and educators." — Scott A. Miller, Teacher The American School of Kinshasa, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo
