SEE SOMETHING, DO SOMETHING ABOUT BULLYING An overview of a newly-released bullying intervention and
prevention program developed by the U.S. Department of Educa- tion and NAPT specifically for school bus drivers will be available this summer to STN EXPO attendees. Tis one-hour presenta- tion will touch on the main points of two 90-minute to two-hour modules. Te first is “See Something, Do Something” that deals with how school bus drivers can recognize bullying behavior and effectively respond to it. Te second module is “Creating a Sup- portive Bus Climate” that shares recommendations on how to foster an environment of mutual respect on the bus to prevent bullying from occurring in the first place.
