"Positive Peer Interactions in School-Age Programs—Frontline Staff" is now available, completing the two-part series allowing administrators and staff to collaborate on creating a more respectful environment in school-age programs.
Creating a community requires the input and the agreement of all its members to make it work. A vision for what it can be like to cooperate and learn in a respectful, peaceful environment plus a strong administrative leadership and a team of professionals who collaborate and cooperate, can make this vision a reality (Dillon 2012; Davis and Davis 2007).
"Positive Peer Interactions in School-Age Programs--Administrators" introduces the steps that administrators of school-age programs need to take to bring all staff together to create a community in which children and adults respect and support each other, and where there is a whole-program approach to reducing and preventing peer aggression.
"Positive Peer Interactions in School-Age Programs--Frontline Staff" enables out-of-school time (OST) professionals who have the responsibility of working directly with children and youth ages 5 through 18 to select and implement the practices they need to create community of caring and mutual respect.
