Center for Civic Education School Violence Prevention Demonstration Program The Center for Civic Education's School Violence Prevention Demonstration Program is a curriculum, training, and research program that provides students with opportunities to engage in high quality civic education and group participation exercises. The program is designed to improve students' civic knowledge, skills, and attitudes. It provides training opportunities for teacher participants that support the curriculum and emphasize critical thinking, cooperative learning, group problem-solving, and performance-based assessment. It also provides research and evaluation of changes in students' civic knowledge and attitudes as they relate to tolerance for the ideas of others; civic responsibility; authority and the law; and social and political institutions. The program began in May 1999, when the Center was awarded a grant from the United States Department of Education to study ways in which civic values and principles might be used to create a positive effect on violence among youth. Research studies had demonstrated that excellent civic education programs, such as the Center's We the People program, could have positive effects on students' attitudes towards society. The 1999-2000 school year pilot implementation of the program in seven large school district sites was premised on that belief and began the attempt to draw attention to ways in which civic education can be used as a violence prevention tool. The expansion of the program since the pilot year has been significant, and the program now includes twenty-one sites in public, private, urban, rural, and Native American school sites.

Site Links Home Search for ERIC Digests Privacy Policy Resources for Library Instruction ... Information Literacy Blog Improving School Violence Prevention Programs through Meaningful Evaluation. ERIC Digest. by Flannery, Daniel, J Creating a school environment that is free of violence and drugs has become a public priority. Over time, the approach taken by schools to prevent violence evolved from quick fix interventions to social control strategies to sophisticated, multi-faceted,and long-term programs. The evolution occurred partly because of necessity: the historical approaches have not worked very well; an increase in student diversity, coupled with overcrowding, is exacerbating tension in schools; and school violence is escalating. There are now a great many different types of violence prevention programs. Some focus on working with individual children identified by teachers or peers as aggressive or at risk for school failure. Others combine a focus on individual and family risk by integrating school-based programs and work with parents and families, peers, or community members. Still other programs integrate an individual risk focus with attempts to change the school environment. Most strive both to increase student social competence and to reduce aggressive behavior. Many prevention programs are demonstrating signs of success, although schools frequently developed them without evidence of their potential, since empirical data on effectiveness is lacking; collecting such information has not been considered a valid use of scarce resources. Now, in order to increase the probability of program success, schools are rethinking this position. Also, as communities struggle to support their schools with decreased budgets, the need for additional monies has increased. But funders will not provide resources for programs, violence prevention included, without quality evaluation data demonstrating their effectiveness and promise.

School Violence Prevention An Excellent Guide for School Administrators, Teachers and Parents An excellent guide to assist educators, parents and students – complete with tips on how to spot potential trouble and how to react when you do spot it – has been published by the U.S. Department of Education.

Links to Safe Schools Resources School safety: resources for educators, parents and students The tragic events in Colorado emphasize the need for educators, parents and students to communicate effectively about school safety issues. Violent, emotionally charged problems that originate in the home and the community sometimes spill over into very "public" places like schools, churches or shopping malls. Although South Carolina schools already have security measures and training programs in place (descriptions appear below), the key to stopping violent episodes is early intervention. In their efforts to reduce disruption, violence, and crime, South Carolina schools use a wide variety of strategies and approaches:

School Violence Prevalence, Fears, and Prevention Jaana Juvonen School shootings such as the one at Columbine High School in 1999 have left deep scars in our nation. The apparently random nature of these highly publicized shootings has raised public fears to epidemic proportions. According to 2001 polls, more than 50 percent of parents with children in grades K-12 and 75 percent of secondary school students now think that a school shooting could occur in their community. Schools are taking a variety of measures to improve school safety. These include the use of metal detectors, the presence of security guards on campus, rules and regulations regarding student conduct and dress, profiling of potentially violent students, anti-bullying instructional programs, and counseling and mediation. Which of these approaches work? Which will reduce the incidence of violence in our schools and alleviate the fears of parents and children? How can school and district administrators choose among the myriad possibilities, and how can they know where to allocate precious resources? RAND examined the literature regarding these programs and found that only a handful have been evaluated, and even fewer have been deemed effective or even promising. The goal of this paper is to describe the options that are currently available for schools. An analysis of the key components of various approaches in terms of their potential positive and negative effects can assist in the selection of policies, programs, and procedures while we wait for evaluations to be conducted.

28. School Violence Prevention & Conflict Resolution Resolving Conflict Creatively in the School Community. The video shows highlights of a workshop with real students, parents, and school staff (no actors!). http://www.triune.ca/rcc1.htm

Resolving Conflict Creatively in the School Community Synopsis Reviews "Negotiation" & "Mediation" "Negotiation" addresses the issues of interpersonal conflict and outlines a five-step conflict solving approach that can be used to work out conflicts without the aid of a third party. It also demonstrates how to conduct role-playing. In, "Mediation" , peer mediators demonstrate in detail a four phase mediation process and encounter two circumstances where the process breaks down - when dealing with issues of alleged sexual harassment and racism. These two videos employ real students, parents and, school staff as participants in a workshop exploring negotiation and mediation skills under the guidance of a prominent workshop leader. The workshop footage is intercut with a series of dramatic "vignettes" that provide the viewer with an "eye witness" glimpse of the conflicts that the workshop participants will explore later through role-playing. To emphasize that conflicts at school are interrelated with conflicts in the greater community (which includes the home) the video begins with a conflict between Sophie (16) and patronizing "big" brother (18). At the same time, their parents are arguing in another room, and eventually this conflict spills into a confrontation between Sophie and her mother. Sophie is later seen arriving at her school workshop on conflict resolution where she becomes actively involved in the learning process.

HOME ONLINE SURVEY ARTICLES FACTS ... PARENT/TEACHER School Violence: Prevention and Response Testimony of Dr. Helen Smith Before the Ad Hoc Committee on School Violence by Dr. Helen Smith Honorable Members of the Ad Hoc Committee on School Violence: Thank you for inviting me to provide this testimony. As a forensic psychologist, I have examined over four thousand adults and children, including many violent juveniles. I am currently serving as an expert witness in a case involving perhaps the youngest juvenile to be tried for murder as an adult in Tennessee: a boy who was twelve years old at the time he killed. I have examined killer kids both before and after their crimes, and have spent a great deal of time trying to fathom why kids kill, and what can be done to prevent such tragedies in the future. But before we can address prevention programs for violent youth, we must first understand the root causes of violence in young people. There are a multitude of biological and sociological explanations offered for why kids go over the edge and kill. Biologically oriented theorists ask the question: is there really such a thing as a natural-born killer? Some experts think so. Genetic and Sociological Theories About Predisposition to Kill Researchers have also found that after mothers watch violent television shows, their unborn children became as agitated as their mother in terms of heart rate and movement. Psychologists theorize that these types of prenatal reactions affect the fetus's brain circuitry, possibly making children so affected more susceptible to being high-strung or aggressive as they grow up. But the evidence for these theories is so far not strong enough to support any policy changes. Their conclusions are tentative at best. And given the past history of such theories which frequently wound up employing "junk science" to reinforce racial or social stereotypes we should be cautious about basing legislation on them. The same is true for many other, nonbiological, explanations.
