The Mill Valley School District is using No Bully as its primary solution to bullying, intimidation and other aggressive behavior and language on our campuses. The nuts and bolts to No Bully's success is a Solution Team and Solution Coaching approach.

The Solution Team model is based on non- punitive intervention that gets the whole student body to work together to develop solutions that address bullies, their targets and bystanders. Already, our Solution Teams are seeing results! A student who was a bullying target recently reported that things are, "way, way better!" How amazing is that?

It's important to keep in mind that No Bully is only one part of the plan we are implementing to reduce bullying at Edna and enhance what is already working. Examples of other ways we are addressing these issues and instilling strong morals in our kids include our recently introduced student Conflict Managers, classroom "bucket filling" activities, the Ophelia Project and, of course, our monthly Life Skills program.

How lucky we are to get to support and encourage resilient, flexible and self-actualized little people! To learn more about No Bully, go to http://www.nobully.com/.
