Olweus Bullying Prevention Program (OBPP) Program Developer: Dan Olweus, Ph.D. U.S. Developer: Sue Limber, Ph.D.
OBPP is a research-based, systems change program designed for all students K-12. It is preventative and responsive. OBPP focuses on changing norms and restructuring the school setting.
Sauganash School has taken the initiative to proactively take on bullying in and out of the classroom. We believe bullying is a serious problem that may lead to many negative consequences, such as future incarceration, trauma, depression, and suicide. All staff members have been trained in the Olweus Bullying Prevention System.
