Abstract

A trio of researchers presents a case study from a practical, participatory action research project to demonstrate how one school district implemented a school-wide bullying prevention initiative for all elementary schools based on Bully Prevention in Positive Behavior Support (BP-PBS). The purpose of this manuscript is to discuss the process of creating a district-wide bullying initiative, including the initial years of implementation, to assist other school counselors and districts in their bullying prevention efforts. The researchers briefly describe the initiative, the action research process, and reflect on results from the project.
