Safe School Ambassadors

Though school shootings are what grab the headlines, an estimated 160,000 students stay home from school because they are afraid of hurtful treatment by their peers. Millions more attend classes fearful of the next insult, intimidating look, or shove, most of which happen out of sight and earshot of adults. For far too many students, school is a minefield; one wrong step can trigger exclusion, ridicule, bullying, or even physical violence.

Safe School Ambassadors is an essential guide for school administrators, counselors, teachers, parents, and youth organization leaders. It challenges the current outside-in thinking--that keeping schools safe is accomplished primarily by adults through heightened security and stricter policies. It makes the case for a complementary inside-out approach that taps the power of students to change the social norms of a school culture in order to stop bullying and violence.

Based on the proven Safe School Ambassadors (SSA) program that has been successfully launched in more than 550 schools, the book provides a roadmap schools can use to empower students with the tools to help stop a broad spectrum of mistreatment. The Safe School Ambassador program also fosters increased tolerance and acceptance of diversity, as well as an environment that encourages higher grades and better attendance.

Praise for Safe School Ambassadors

At a time when many talk about the need to stop bullying and other forms of violence, it is refreshing to encounter a book that shows us how to do so. Safe School Ambassadors offers a unique and powerful approach by empowering bystanders to become peacemakers.
--Barbara Coloroso, educator and author, The Bully, the Bullied, and the Bystander

This very practical book offers an innovative and proven approach to decreasing violence in schools through student empowerment. It is the only sane solution for ensuring security in our society.
--Deepak Chopra, author, The Deeper Wound: Recovering the Soul from Fear and Suffering, 100 Days of Healing

Bullying and youth violence are critical public health issues that have serious academic, social, and emotional costs. This book provides an antidote that can decrease acts of intolerance and create a healthy and compassionate learning community.
--Deborah Prothrow-Stith, MD, Harvard School of Public Health

The Safe School Ambassadors program has provided us with a well-designed student-to-student initiative that has made a positive difference in over 30 of our district's schools.
--Alison Adler, Ed. D., chief, safety and learning environment, School District of Palm Beach County, Florida

This book is one of a kind. We will be taking on the program and buying multiple copies for our staff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Changing the Norms

J.R.C. · July 30, 2008

The most important aspect of this book is that the strategies suggested PREVENT mistreatment, thus changing the norms. As a facilitator of adults ordered by court to take anger management classes, I would like to see more of this taking place. That way we are up stream solving the problem rather than downstream picking up the bodies. I have shared much of the information in the book in parenting classes I led. Students found the information extremely useful. To my knowledge several of them did go back to their children's schools and obtained information on how the school was addressing bullying. It's the ripple effect. Take the time to read the book and then make a difference in your community. I'd love to work myself out of a job.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Outstanding and Important Work

M.C. · July 2, 2008

I have worked with young people for over 30 years as a theatre educator and drama therapist. The problem of schools being unsafe and uncivil places in which to learn is growing around the globe. In addition to providing a clear overview of the problem, I believe the authors express quite eloquently the key to the solution: youth empowerment. It is through relationship that young people develop their behavioral repertoire and, as is expressed in this book, "Outside-In" approaches that focus on rules, monitoring, and enforcement cannot effectively change the social norms that make it O.K. for students to mistreat each other. Kudos to the authors on creating such a valuable resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful program

R.F. · July 30, 2008

As the parent of a girl who was a mistreated in middle school, I have often wondered what can be done to bring about change for students like my daughter. I know from my own experience, that top down discipline does not provide for a safe school climate. If it did, my many calls to the school about how my daughter was being treated, would have brought about change.What I have learned from this insightful, compelling book is that by empowering the students, we can build safer schools, from the inside-out, an obvious, and simple solution. Research based and well written, Safe School Ambassadors:Harnessing Student Power, is a must read for Professionals and Parents alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT BOOK!!! ... COVER TO COVER!!!

T.A. · June 13, 2008

I'm so grateful to the authors of this book. I've been working with families and youth for almost 15 years and I think this book reflects a clear understanding of the reality in schools across the country, and presents, in a sensitive and intelligent way, a very clear and effective way to create safer schools where our kids can get inspired, empowered, and ready to face an increasingly challenging world. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Valuable and Timely Guide

R.A.L. · July 30, 2008

Every school administrator should take the time to read this valuable, well-researched guide to the problem and solutions to the issue of mistreatment in schools. The authors have made a strong case for student empowerment, and have given school personnel the practical tools to make their schools safer and more welcoming for everyone.
