The U.S. Department of Education recently organized and hosted the Federal Partners in Bullying Prevention Summit. The meeting brought together educators, leaders from federal agencies and other associations determined to reduce bullying in our nation's schools. One result of the summit was creation of a
website designed to centralize governmental resources on bullying. It contains information about bullying research and strategies for addressing the problem from various perspectives. It also contains articles, suggestions, videos and other information to help schools assure that students are and feel safe. This is especially important as many students report feeling intimidated at school and as technology continues providing additional methods of delivering intimidating messages.
