What kind of training is needed for the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program?
Members of a school's Bullying Prevention Coordinating Committee are required to attend a two-day training. Trainings are conducted by certified trainers.
Bullying Prevention Coordinating Committee members will conduct bullying prevention training for all teachers and other school staff. This full-day training (or two half-day blocks) will give every adult who interacts with students a basic understanding of bullying, the motivation to become involved in bullying prevention, and the skills to intervene appropriately in bullying behaviors.
Ongoing telephone consultation for a full school year (at least 10 months) with a certified trainer.
