Description

Bullying is a nation-wide problem that negatively affects not only its victims, but also the bystanders who witness bullying and the bullies themselves. The core of the intervention will be a four-week period during which several activities are planned with each of the two classes based on the Second Step Violence Prevention Curriculum. An experimental pre-assessment/post-assessment design with a control will be used. The sample will consist of 56 students (18 control) from the 5th grade classrooms at Lake Crystal Wellcome Memorial Elementary School. The intervention group will meet one time per week for 45 minutes for four weeks. Data will be collected using the same assessment before the intervention, as well as after the intervention.
