NEW K-9 SOCIAL SKILLS AND BULLYING PREVENTION RESOURCES

The Child Health Promotion Research Centre (CHPRC) and STEPS Professional Development are proud to announce the impending arrival of Friendly Schools Plus; new, evidence-based resources for primary and secondary schools designed to build social skills and significantly reduce bullying in school communities.

Available early 2012, Friendly Schools Plus draws on 12 years of extensive and rigorous research into best practice, and now includes evidence from four more major research studies, including ways to address cyberbullying, conducted by the CHPRC. The resources comprise over 75% new material, presented in a blended online and print environment. Friendly Schools Plus provide schools with the strategies and resources to achieve the vision and all nine elements of the newly-revised National Safe Schools Framework.

A powerful professional development model will be available to help your school build its capacity to provide high quality learning and support for teachers across the whole school to implement this resource.

Now is the time to start planning your school change initiative and professional development for 2012.  Contact STEPS Professional Development to ensure you receive further updates about availability.
