CLIMB Theatre, a non-profit traveling theatre troupe from Minneapolis/St. Paul, travels to schools around the country addressing the topic of bullying prevention.  Each year CLIMB performs our plays and interactive classes for over 450,000 students in grades K-12.  CLIMB Theatre¹s plays and classes are research-based, and responsibly written to achieve specific educational objectives. 

CLIMB's program significantly increase a student's knowledge about bullying and how to best handle it. In addition, after CLIMB programming, students are more likely, (when addressing someone who was bullying them), to use direct eye contact, a confident posture, and a strong voice.  Our programs are not only effective but also entertaining - that's what makes CLIME so effective.

For more information on CLIMB Theatre visit our website at www.climb.org or contact our Outreach Department at (800) 767-9660.

HERO IN THE HALLWAY

Students Hold the Key to School Safety - Students see, hear and know things adults don’t, and can intervene to stop mistreatment in ways adults can’t.  Students are both the primary aggressors and primary targets of mistreatment in schools.  Students determine the norms of campus culture, while adults set the rules, and students are more likely to talk with their peers than with adults.

The Safe School Ambassadors program is research-based and field-tested, with an unassailable logic model.  The Safe School Ambassadors program draws upon social change theory, which states that empowering the most influential students who are in the best position to effect social change is the best way to change social norms.  Student Ambassadors are taught to recognize all forms of mistreatment and to remedy the situations with high-level intervention techniques including nonviolent communication skills.

Inspired by actual events, Mary Finds a Friend is a heartwarming story...
Inspired by actual events, Mary Finds a Friend is a heartwarming story about a fascinating friendship between a yearling moose, named Mary, and a grandmother Welch Cob horse, named Little Bit.

Using Mary Finds a Friend at the elementary level is the very best corrective action tool available for the anti-bullying crusade.  This methodology attacks the root cause of the problem early on and precludes its growth. Like any good parable, the story holds a powerful message, yet it is not forced or offending, driving home the importance of compassion, friendship, and caring about others. 

Contact the author, Robert R. Skye, at rjskye@comcast.net, for more information about using, Mary Finds a Friend in your classroom.

>> What effect is bullying having on your students?

Each year, we are faced with a growing number of cases involving Bullying. Experts say that many cases are never even reported because students do not feel comfortable to share their feelings on this subject. 

RRT has joined with education experts to create a bullying awareness module directed toward intermediate/middle school students. 

If you'd like a full demonstration of the training in its entirety inside our RightTrack® Learning Management System, visit our web page at www.rightreasontech.com/ or contact an RRT sales representative at (877)778-8277.

    "Breaking the Code of silence through Anonymous Communication"

    The U.S. Secret Service and Dept. of Education’s Threat Assessment in School Guide concluded that there is a pervasive sense among students that telling grownups about bullying or that they or another student is in pain, may violate an unwritten, but powerful “code of silence.” In order to prevent this behavior schools should create a climate of safety where a student has a reprisal-proof way to reach out to an adult. 
    >>
    Schools around the country have been using a solution called AnComm to build positive connections between students and adults.  The service, which one school calls “The Stable, A Safe Place for a Mustang” is available to students via their school website, for example, http://mhsweb.springbranchisd.com.   Visit our website,  www.ancomm.com, and contact Carter B. Myers (toll free) at 866-9-AnComm (866-926-2666) for more information.
