Abstract:
This article describes a bullying/conflict intervention system termed the student support system, which has been implemented in a suburban high school in the northeastern United States. The system is part of a concerted effort to improve school social climate, improve the quality of students' social interactions, and reduce bullying. It is based on a social-emotional learning philosophy that seeks to improve the social competencies of students. The system includes a social-emotional learning intervention team, a continuum of responses for intervention, reporting and follow-up processes, and an intervention and reporting system.
