Written by family and child therapist and school counselor Stan Davis, Where Everyone Belongs: Practical Strategies for Reducing Bullying is a highly practical guide written especially for schoolteachers and other educational professionals, yet invaluable for anyone who oversees groups of children. Now in an updated second edition, Schools Where Everyone Belongs demystifies what bullying it is and common myths about its effects, what doesn't work to combat it, and most importantly of all, classroom-tested methods that do work to stop bullying and reverse its harmful effects. "When there are inconsistent consequences for bullying, young people are likely to continue. When we have to customize a consequence for each incident, the process of discipline becomes impossibly time-consuming. Planned, rubric-based consequences take much less time to administer and thus can be used more consistently. When consequences are predictable and based on a clear rubric, young people can learn from each other's misdeeds." An absolute "must-have" for grade school teachers and principals everywhere.

This book is what's been missing for eductors in the field of bullying prevention. It is a practical, well thought out and clearly explained, research based, guide to implementing bullying prevention and intervention in any school. Every teacher and administrator should read this book!

Stan Davis has taken Dan Olweus' research and created practical applications that have dramatically changed school environments across the country. Order this book today! And also check out his website, www.stopbullyingnow.com.

I have been working with children for a long time and this book really opened my eyes. I need good reason to change my way of thinking and Stan Davis has given me that. In addition to making some very good points, he has seen this method be successful at numerous schools. I would recommend the book to anyone that works with groups of children.

Stan Davis' book, Schools Where Everyone Belongs is an informative guide for teachers, administrators and parents. Mr. Davis clearly outlines the practical strategies to create a safe environment for students documented with solid reseached based data. This is a must read for ALL schools, (and Parents).

If we all work to put an end to this silent killer of our children's self-esteem...the educational experience will be what it should be: an empowering, learning experience where all children feel connected. As an educator I have used (and written about in my book) simple strategies that parents, teachers and schools can use to prevent any child from becoming a bully or victim.Let's work together!

Stan Davis presents a framework for schools on how to change their school culture by designing and implementing clear, concise and consistent consequences. This book is a must-read for all school personnel.

Any easy to read, comprehensive anti-bullying book for schools. This book could easily be used as a platform for Professional Learning Communities in your school. I have changed the way I speak to kids based on Davis's recommendations. Weel worth every penny spent!

It's not often that I pick up a book about schools and education and find myself scribbling and underlining and reading and re-reading with such excitement. This book is truly an answer to prayer. I am a school counselor fumbling with how to decrease the bullying in my school effectively. With the insight, ideas, and knowledge of this book, I feel better prepared to address the issue of bullying. I am hoping to be able to share this book with the staff, and together maybe we can turn our school into a school where everyone FEELS like they belong!

Stan Davis, a founder of the International Bullying Prevention Association and a world-class presenter, wrote this book some years ago and it is considered one of the most important works in the prevention of school bullying. If you are concerned about bullying in schools, this book absolutely belongs in your library.
