How to Assess Bullying at Your School
         by Angelina Pilon
Bullying is a serious offense that can lead to
students feeling very negatively about themselves
    and the world at large, and one of the most
  common environments for bullying is school. If
 you are a school administrator or work in public
  education, consider assessing your school for
bullying. Assessments can help you determine the
 frequency and severity of bullying, while finding
out the efficacy of current policies and intervention
                       efforts.
Benefits to an assessment:

 1. An assessment will try to illuminate what is really happening.
  Adults and professionals frequently underestimate the rates of
 bullying, as it most often occurs when adults are not present. A
survey or another anonymous measure will encourage students to
                    tell the truth about bullying.

2. An assessment will measure results and show the effectiveness
   of current efforts. Multiple assessments can be used to show
                          results over time.

3. An assessment will show administrators what areas of bullying
   they need to target by clarifying trends and types of bullying,
    allowing intervention and prevention efforts to be accurately
                              shaped.
About the author: Angelina Pilon has been
    involved in education as a teacher and
 administrator for over twenty years. She has
spearheaded major efforts to combat bullying in
              Canadian schools.
