  4. Develop School Rules • We will not bully others. • We will try to help students who are bullied. • We will include students who are easily left out. • When we know someone is being bullied we will tell an adult at school AND an adult at home.

  5. Use Consistent Consequences • Identify consequences of active bullying, or following • Assess which are effective and which are not (different consequences work with different groups) • Develop graduated sanctions and rewards that are developmentally appropriate
