Wellbeing at School: Building a Safe and Caring School Climate That Deters Bullying

This booklet is a summary of an extensive review of research and other literature undertaken to guide the development of the Wellbeing@School website self-review process, survey tools and content. This website is being developed by the New Zealand Council for Educational Research (NZCER). The "Wellbeing@School" website is one component of the Ministry of Education's "Positive Behaviour for Learning: Action Plan 2010-2014," developed in response to concerns about student behaviour and school bullying. It is also supported by the New Zealand Police. This booklet is aimed at school leaders. It could also be of interest to those working with schools such as Resource Teachers of Learning and Behaviour (RTLBs), educational psychologists or Police Education Officers. (Contains 51 notes.)
