Abstract |
School-based violence prevention has become a growing concern for educators, parents, and researchers. This article describes the Piscataway Project--a school-based action research project focused on the development, implementation, and evaluation of violence-prevention instructional approaches--and discusses some of the challenges associated with school-based prevention efforts. Conceptual, delivery, training, and organizational variables that contribute to outcomes of school-based preventive interventions are described and their impact on the Piscataway Project is discussed. Lessons learned from the project are also presented as a guide for those interested in the development and implementation of school-based interventions. |
