BUT AN EFFORT TO THINK A LITTLE BIT MORE IN A FOCUSED WAY ABOUT WHAT KINDS OF EVIDENCE ARE MOST LIKELY TO BE USEFUL TO DECISION MAKERS IN DIFFERENT CONTEXTS !ND TO THINK ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE DECISION MAKERS AND ASK WHAT KINDS OF QUESTIONS THEY PERCEIVE TO BE MOST AMENABLE TO SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH !ND THEN TO THINK ABOUT ACTUAL PROCESSES BY WHICH THE RESEARCH COMMUNITY AND THE POLICY MAKING COMMUNITY CAN LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER AND DEVELOP BETTER MECHANISMS FOR BRINGING EVIDENCE TO BEAR ON DECISIONS 3O IT S GOING TO BE A VERY INTERESTING INITIATIVE /NE OF THE PROBLEMS OBVIOUSLY IS HOW HIGH TO SET EVIDENTIARY STANDARDS

REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOUR EVIDENCE COMES FROM SO CALLED QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH USING LARGE DATASETS OR FROM ETHNOGRAPHIC STUDIES AND CASE ANALY SES 7E HAVE TO HAVE HIGH STANDARDS OF EVIDENCE BECAUSE AS PRACTICING SCIENTISTS THAT S WHAT WE BELIEVE IN /N THE OTHER HAND WE KNOW THAT IF YOU SET THE STANDARDS OF EVIDENCE HIGH ENOUGH NO PROGRAM OR INTERVENTION CAN PASS MUSTER AND THAT IS A RATHER DEPRESSING STATE OF AFFAIRS "UT DECI SION MAKERS POLICY MAKERS EDUCATORS AND OTHERS WOULD LIKE SOME ADVICE ABOUT WHAT MAKES SENSE IN THE ABSENCE OF COMPLETE CERTAINTY ABOUT RESULTS 4HEREFORE THE QUESTION BECOMES @(OW DO YOU RE THINK THE CONCEPT OF EVI DENCE FOR USE IN EDUCATION 4HIS IS THE CHALLENGE

CIENTIFICALLY BASED RESEARCH OR EVI DENCE BASED RESEARCH HAS BECOME A HOT TOPIC IN EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH AT THE BEGINNING OF THE ST CENTURY 4HE STAKES ARE HIGH BECAUSE THE VERY NATURE OF SCIENCE AND SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE AND BY EXTENSION THE NATURE OF KNOWLEDGE ITSELF IS BEING CONTESTED BY SCHOLARS AND RESEARCH ERS WHO WORK FROM DIFFERENT THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES 4HE CALL FOR RIGOROUS SCIENCE AND QUAL ITY EVIDENCE AFFECTS NOT ONLY EDUCATIONAL RESEARCHERS BUT ALSO CLASSROOM TEACHERS WHO FIND THAT EXPERIENCE AND INSTINCT ARE NO LON GER SUFFICIENT GROUNDS FOR TEACHING %DUCATORS AGREE THAT THEIR PRACTICE SHOULD BE GROUNDED IN RIGOROUS RESEARCH HOWEVER MANY ARE CONCERNED THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT S DEFI NITION OF SCIENTIFICALLY BASED RESEARCH IS TOO NARROW AND THEREFORE MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT RESEARCH AND PRACTICE

(OW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN RESEARCHING BULLYING OR VIOLENCE IN SCHOOLS AND HOW DID YOU COME TO FOCUS ON THESE TOPICS

!(

) WAS A TEACHER AND COUNSELOR IN 'AINESVILLE &LA FROM -OSTLY MIDDLE SCHOOL BUT SOME HIGH SCHOOL 7HEN ) STARTED MY CAREER AS A SCHOOL COUNSELOR ONE OF THE QUESTIONS ASKED WAS h$ID ) WANT TO DO REGISTRATION AND RECORDS OR DID ) WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THE TROUBLESOME KIDS v .ATURALLY ) TOOK THE TROUBLESOME KIDS )T REALLY MADE A DIFFERENCE BECAUSE ) THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THEM 3O ) STOPPED BEING A COUNSELOR 'OT MY DOCTORATE

1 / " ÊÓääÇÊÊQ

1 !ND HOW DID YOU BEGIN RESEARCHING BULLYING !( 7HEN ) FIRST GOT INTO THISx WE DIDN T USE THE TERM @BULLY AT ALL

4HAT WAS KIND OF AN INAPPROPRIATE TERM TO USE 7HAT WE TALKED ABOUT WAS AGGRESSIVE CHILDREN OR CONDUCT DISORDERED CHILDREN OR OPPOSITIONAL CHILDREN "UT WE NEVER USED THE WORD @BULLYING BECAUSE THAT WAS KIND OF A POP THING "UT ABOUT YEARS AGO SOMEONE CALLED ME AND WANTED TO DO AN INTERVIEW FOR A MAGAZINE 7E TALKED FOR A WHILE AND ) WENT HOME AND TOLD MY WIFE ABOUT THE INTERVIEW h7HO WAS IT WITH v SHE ASKED h) DON T KNOWx ) DIDN T EVEN ASK v ) SAID !S IT TURNED OUT IT WAS A MAGA ZINE CALLED 4HE 3TAR ) HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT BUT MY WIFE HAD h/H MY

THAT S ONE OF THOSE CHECKOUT STAND TABLOIDS v SHE SAID 4WO WEEKS LATERx THE MAGAZINE COMES OUT AND THERE S THIS BIG FRONT PAGE STORY ON BULLIES

AND ) READ IT AND IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD ARTICLE ) LIKED IT 3O ) SWITCHED TO THE TERM @BULLY AND STARTED USING IT !ND WE VE BEEN USING IT EVEN MORE IN THE LAST YEARS SINCE WE STARTED THE "ULLY "USTER PROJECT 4HE IDEA BEHIND THAT WAS TO SEE IF WE COULD REALLY IMPACT THE SCHOOLS HERE 7E TRIED TO IMPLEMENT THE BEST KNOWN BULLYING PREVENTION PROGRAM HERE AND WHAT WE FOUND WAS THAT IT REALLY DIDN T WORK )N FACT THINGS GOT WORSE INSTEAD OF BETTER 3O WE SPENT THE NEXT YEAR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY 7E FINALLY DETERMINED THAT THE ORIGINAL PROGRAM WAS SET UP TO CHANGE THE WHOLE SCHOOL THE WHOLE COMMUNITY )T HAD TO BE TOTAL CHANGE !ND YOU JUST CAN T CHANGE A WHOLE COMMUNITY ) M NOT THAT POWERFUL 3O WHAT WE LEARNED WAS THAT WE COULD GO TO A SCHOOL AND WORK WITH A FEW TEACHERS AND THOSE TEACHERS COULD HAVE SOME IMPACT AND THEN THE NEXT YEAR WE WORK WITH A FEW MORE TEACHERS AND THEN THE NEXT YEAR

MAYBE THE WHOLE SCHOOL !ND SO THE WAY WE VE DONE IT IS MUCH SMALLER )N THE LAST TWO YEARS WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON "ULLY "USTERS 0ARENTS 'ROUPS IN THOSE SCHOOLS 7E FOUND THAT WE CAN HAVE SOME NICE IMPACT WITH PARENTS TEACHING THEM THE SAME THINGS WE RE TEACHING TEACHERS

1 3HOOTINGS AT #OLUMBINE AND SEVERAL OTHER SCHOOLS ACROSS THE NATION HAVE DRAWN GREAT MEDIA COVERAGE (AS THAT BEEN HELPFUL OR HAS IT MADE YOUR WORK MORE DIFFICULT !ND IF SO HOW

!( 4HERE ARE SEVERAL RESPONSES /NE IS OF COURSE WE WISH IT HAD

NEVER HAPPENED "UT WHEN IT DID HAPPEN IT REALLY BROUGHT PUBLIC AWARENESS THAT THIS IS A REAL SERIOUS PROBLEM AND IT GAVE US A WORD THAT PEOPLE COULD USE TO HELP CREATE SENSITIVITY &OR EXAMPLE THREE DIFFER ENT STATES RECENTLY REPORTED THAT THEY HAD PREVENTED A #OLUMBINE TYPE EVENT !ND ) THOUGHT WOW )F WE HADN T HAD #OLUMBINEx THEN WE WOULDN T BE TALKING ABOUT IT THIS WAY Qร ร 1 / " ร ร รครคร

/NE OF THE NICE THINGS ABOUT BEING FUNDED BY THE #ENTERS FOR $ISEASE #ONTROL IS THAT THEY PROVIDE US ACCESS TO THEIR PHENOMENAL DATABASE !ND ONE OF THE THINGS WE NOTICED IS THE ACTUAL NUMBER OF HOMICIDES IN SCHOOLS HAS GONE DOWN FOR THE LAST DECADE 4HAT S THE GOOD NEWS 4HE BAD NEWS IS THAT WHEN THEY DO HAPPEN THEY RE MORE OFTEN LIKELY TO BE MULTIPLE 4HE &") REPORT ON BULLYING IN SCHOOLS IS REAL CLEAR n THE MAJORITY OF KIDS WHO BECOME VIOLENT ARE VICTIMS OF BULLIES 4IME AFTER TIME THE &") REPORTS IT S NOT THE LITTLE (ISPANIC KID IT S NOT THE LITTLE !FRICAN !MERICAN KID IT S THE KID MOSTLY FROM MIDDLE CLASS WHO WAS PICKED ON AND WHO HAD ACCESS TO WEAPONS !ND PEOPLE STILL HAVEN T COME TO GRIPS WITH THAT 7E WANT TO BLAME ALL THOSE hBAD KIDSv OUT THEREx WHEN THE FACT IS THAT THOSE BAD KIDS OFTENTIMES ARE NORMAL KIDS THAT JUST GOT PUSHED TOO FAR !ND IF WE HAD A PROGRAM TO HELP THEM THAT D BE REALLY POWERFUL ! REPORTER RECENTLY ASKED ME h3HOULDN T THEY LEARN TO HANDLE IT ON THEIR OWN v 3URE THEY SHOULD !ND IF YOU GO OUT INTO DOWNTOWN "UCKHEAD ON A 3ATURDAY NIGHT AND SOMEONE STARTS ACCOSTING YOU YOU OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THAT ON YOUR OWN SHOULDN T YOU 9OU RE AN ADULT 4HINK ABOUT HOW YOU D BE IF YOU WERE A KID BEING ASSAULTED AND NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO 3OMETIMES WE NEED HELP ) THINK THAT S THE EDUCATOR S ROLE TO DO THAT !NYBODY WHO SAYS THAT WE SHOULDN T BE HELPING THESE KIDS IS OUT OF CONTACT WITH WHAT IT S LIKE TO BE IN A FEARFUL SITUATION ) GET KIND OF PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS

1 (AS BULLYING INCREASED IN OUR SCHOOLS !( "ULLYING HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME %VEN THE 'REEKS

TALKED ABOUT IT "UT FIRST OF ALL THE 'REEK KID WHO GOT BULLIED VERY SEL DOM COULD FIND THE KINDS OF WEAPONS OUR KIDS CAN FIND TODAY 3ECOND

EVEN IF THE 'REEK KID FELT BULLIED AND WANTED TO GET A SPEAR AND GO EVEN THE ODDS THERE WOULD BE ADULTS AROUND THAT WOULD SAY h9OU RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT v "UT TODAY MORE AND MORE FAMILIES ARE WORKING LONGER AND LONGER HOURS 4HERE S NO GETTING AROUND IT 7E VE HAD YEARS OF RESEARCH THAT SHOWS THE SINGLE BEST PREDICTOR OF WHETHER A KID IS GOING TO BE A DELINQUENT OR NOT IS HOW MUCH THE PARENTS MONITOR THE KID S BEHAVIOR &OR INSTANCE WHEN A PARENT KNOWS WHAT THEIR KID IS DOING 7HERE ARE THEY GOING 7HO WILL THEY BE WITH 7HERE ARE THEIR PARENTS 7HERE CAN ) FIND THEM 9OU DON T FIND A LOT OF DELINQUENTS IN THOSE FAMILIES .OW YOU APPLY THAT TO THE CLASSROOM 7E USED TO HAVE SMALLER CLASSES AND MORE TEACHER AIDES 7E HAD MORE ADULTS IN THE ROOM TO SAY h9OU DON T DO THAT IN HERE v "UT WE VE REDUCED THE NUMBER OF TEACHER AIDES

WE VE INCREASED THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN OUR CLASSROOMS AND PARENTS ARE LESS INVOLVED BECAUSE THEY RE BUSY 3O MANY ARE WORKING TWO JOBS OR ARE JUST NOT AVAILABLE 3O JUST THE VERY NATURE OF HAVING KIDS WITH LESS MONITORED TIME ALLOWS FOR MORE TROUBLE 7HEN WE DO SURVEYS ABOUT WHERE THIS BULLYING HAPPENS WE FIND IT HAPPENS AT SCHOOL LUNCHROOMS

ON THE PLAYGROUNDS AND IN THE BATHROOMSx )T S WHERE THE ADULTS AREN T 3O ) DON T THINK IT S WORSE THAN IT USED TO BE BUT THERE IS LESS OF A CONSE QUENCE FOR IT AND THERE S MORE UNMONITORED TIME !ND WHEN ) SAY LESS OF A CONSEQUENCE IT S KIND OF LIKE WITH THE LAN GUAGE WE HEAR KIDS USING TODAYx ) OVERHEARD A CONVERSATION RECENTLY BETWEEN TWO STUDENTS AT A CAMPUS CAFยฃ AND ) THOUGHT YOU KNOW IF THAT LANGUAGE HAD OCCURRED WHEN ) WAS IN SCHOOL THOSE KIDS WOULD BE OUT OF SCHOOL 7E KNOW THAT YOU DON T HAVE TWO KIDS THAT WALK UP TO EACH OTHER AND START FIGHTING AT SCHOOL )T STARTS WITH h(EY YOUR MAMA v 3O IT GOES FROM TEASING TO NAME CALLING TO SCUFFLES TO FIGHTS AND SO IF YOU CAN STOP THE TEASING AND NAME CALLING YOU PROBABLY AREN T GOING TO GET TO THE FIGHT

1 !ND THIS IS STARTING EARLY !( 6ERY EARLY ) MEAN WE HAVE KIDS COMING INTO KINDERGARTEN

FIRST GRADE WHO ALREADY KNOW HOW TO BULLY /UR ORIGINAL WORK WAS TO START IT IN MIDDLE SCHOOL BUT THE PRINCIPALS SAID h7ELL THOSE KIDS COME IN LIKE THISx7HY DON T YOU WORK WITH THE YOUNGER KIDS v 3O THEN WE WENT TO ELEMENTARY AND EVEN THERE THEY SAID h9OU REALLY OUGHT TO BE DOING PRE SCHOOL v !ND PART OF IT IS YOU HAVE SOME FAMILIES THAT CONDONE IT SOME WHO IGNORE IT OR LOOK THE OTHER WAY 9OU HAVE SOME FAMILIES WHO JUST DON T KNOW WHAT TO DO ) DON T THINK THERE S MUCH MALICIOUSNESS 3O PART OF OUR GOAL IS JUST TO SAY LET S BE AWARE OF ITx THAT IT #!. BE A PROBLEMx HERE S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FEELS LIKE AND THEN TAKE SOME STEPS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

3O BULLYING PREVENTION IS A KEY FACTOR IN PREVENTING VIOLENCE IN SCHOOLS
