Safe School Ambassadors: Harnessing Student Power to Stop Bullying and Violence

160,000 students stay home from school each day because they are afraid of hurtful treatment by their peers. This groundbreaking new book by John Linney et. al, empowers educators and students with tools to prevent bullying, create tolerance, acceptance and an environment of high achievement. 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.
