Editorial Reviews

"Every teacher, school leader, and mental health professional working in schools needs to have a copy of this book. Drs. Bradshaw and Waasdorp skillfully integrate the most current research on bullying with practical, easy-to-use strategies for educators. Most bullying programs focus on the bully, but this book unpacks the roles of all participants, and provides essential strategies to use with bystanders and victims, as well as bullies. "

Virginia L. Dolan

"This is the best book written about practical research-based approaches to prevent and address bullying behaviors. It should be shared with all teachers and school administrators as part of their pre-service and in-service professional development to promote the social and emotional learning of young people. Teachers who apply these strategies will reduce bullying and improve the school experiences of their students. "
