5
Evaluation should begin the first year, and continue over time 1 Does not offer quick fixes, but rather long-term solutions that will endure 2
6
Olweus Bullying Questionnaire Primary tool Expect to see changes in some but not all students responses 1 Judging success on the short-term results may be misleading 2 When comparing data from one year to the next, take age-related changes in bullying problems into account 3
7
Absentee and/or truancy rates 1 Student test scores 2 Discipline reports 3 Discipline reports from bus routes 4 The number of suspensions 5 Critical incident rates in school 6 Other surveys that have questions referring to school climate 7
8
Examples of process evaluations include: Regularly using the Implementation Checklists 1 Surveying teachers on key components of these Checklists 2 Administering a take-home parent evaluation that assesses parents’ perceptions of the program and their involvement Asking staff to list one or two positive changes they have noticed in students, themselves, or the school climate as a result of OBPP 3
9
Report any evaluation results to the entire school community, including staff, students, and parents 1 District Administration 2 Community contacts, funders, and other connections 3

For the most part, evaluating the program does not cost money However, it is important to do evaluations if we want to seek additional outside funding 1
12
The OBPP is designed for use in grades 1-9 All research studies on the program’s effectiveness have looked at grades 4-9 No formal program has been developed for those grades yet 1 With this in mind, schools may consider possible adaptations when providing OBPP to high school students
13
Closely monitor student behavior 1 Address behaviors related to bullying that may emerge among this age group 2 Identify curriculum resources, student literature, audiovisual materials, student plays, and other materials that could help generate discussions or activities Be clear that policies and procedures against bullying do not replace laws and other school policies 3
14
Encourage students to take leadership roles in guiding class meetings Train high school students to present basic bullying concepts to younger students 1 Challenge students to do projects that will promote an anti-bullying message in the community Have students create posters that provide a more high school oriented message about bullying
15
Have students serve on your BPCC and play an active role in the development of the program 1 Ask student representatives to help you “redesign” your school’s public spaces or schedule to reduce or prevent bullying 2 Utilize social action committees and clubs 3 and/or organize a student “club” whose focus in on a positive school climate, inclusion, or harmony among students 4
