Reviews

The book is outstanding. It walks you through the complexity of the issue and gives practical ways to implement the process through staff training activities. -- Holly Leach, Principal 20120403 Just in time! No Place for Bullying is an outstanding example of what is good in education today. This educational toolkit responds to a growing concern for the safety and protection of all students and their rights. -- Marian White-Hood, Director of Academics 20120403 I commend the author for compiling this resource along with the activities within. Bullying happens in most schools, and the knowledge, skills, and applications included in this text will be a great addition to the other resources available on bullying. The activities included are powerful and can be difference makers when trying to change behavior with a variety of stakeholders. WOW!!! -- Harriet Gould, Adjunct Professor 20120403
