This program is comprised of 4 VHSs and a manual consisting of 50-75 pages. Each program in the series addresses a specific stakeholder audience: administrators; pupil services staff; teachers; paraprofessionals; parents.

Now for the first time, a comprehensive approach is available to provide school communities a complete package on bullying prevention. This series targets four of the major stakeholder groups:

• Parents (29 minutes)
• Paraprofessionals (27 minutes)
• Teachers (30 minutes)
• Administrators & Pupil Services (32 minutes)

Dr. Kenneth Shore, family and educational psychologist and nationally renowned author of books such as Keeping Kids Safe, Special Kid's Problem Solver and The Parents' Public School Handbook, presents an innovative plan to address bullying prevention across all constituencies who play a role in a school community.

What is needed are strategies that are based on current research which can be integrated into the fabric of the school. Dr. Shore presents powerful and proven strategies that target specific groups, as well as providing valuable resources. Showing a video to students in their classrooms and other "one-shot" approaches do not produce a lasting impact!

Through the use of the video and the accompanying book, each stakeholder group learns critical information on what he/she can do to specifically address, reduce and eliminate bullying in our schools. The best training program of its kind!

The viewer will be able to:

• Understand the pervasiveness of bullying in schools.
• Define characteristics of bullying and its various forms.
• Identify the consequences of bullying for its victims as well as for the general student population.
• List the key elements of an effective bullying prevention program.
• Identify ways to promote a caring classroom culture in which students come to the aid of bullying victims and/or report incidents to adults.
• Recognize behavioral signs in a student that suggest that he or she may be a victim of bullying.
• Develop skills in counseling students who have been victims of bullying.
• Learn strategies for providing discipline as well as guidance to students who have been bullying others.
• Understand how to work cooperatively with the school to deal with a situation in which your child is being bullied or your child is doing the bullying. (for parents)
