Adam Collins, PhD, is the Statewide Bullying Prevention Manager
and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) Specialist at the
Colorado Department of Education. Dr. Collins has extensive
experience researching and implementing bullying prevention best
practices at the school, district, university, and state levels. He
is coauthor of multiple book chapters and regularly presents at
state and national conferences on bullying prevention and MTSS.
Jason Harlacher, PhD, is a Senior Researcher with American
Institutes for Research (AIR). He implements school-based
multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) that help all students,
including those who are targets of bullying and those who need
social and emotional learning support. Prior to joining AIR, Dr.
Harlacher worked as a school psychologist, district-level coach,
adjunct professor, and state-level consultant. He presents
nationally on topics related to classroom management, intensive
interventions, and MTSS, and has published peer-reviewed journal
articles and several books.
"As the mental health needs of students are increasingly brought
into the spotlight, bullying behaviors remain alive and well,
placing our most vulnerable students at substantial risk.
Fortunately, Collins and Harlacher have created a research-based,
comprehensive, and practical model to help practitioners and
educators find sure footing within a rapidly changing landscape.
The illustrative examples and clearly defined processes make this
book current and accessible to a variety of potential readers. I
recommend it to professionals in any district or school seeking to
develop or rewrite their student support policies."--Justin Gaddis,
PhD, LP, Executive Director, Health Services and Well-Being, Fort
Worth Independent School District, Texas
"Collins and Harlacher recognized that available bullying
prevention approaches were fragmented, often neglecting one or more
components. This book combines key elements of social and emotional
learning, school climate, and multi-tiered systems of
support--while also providing clear guidance about curricula to
use, partnerships to build, data-based decision making, and
implementation. It provides a turnkey solution for districts and
individual schools, and is replete with practical examples,
templates to follow, and checklists to make sure you are on track
with your efforts. Whether you are completely revamping your
policies and programming, or simply looking to see more results,
the knowledge and strategies you need are in this book."--Sameer
Hinduja, PhD, Co-Director, Cyberbullying Research Center; School of
Criminology and Criminal Justice, Florida Atlantic University
"Thedefinitive book on bullying prevention and intervention. Every
school, state department of education, and graduate training
program in education and psychology should make this book required
reading....Bullying reflects a breakdown in healthy relationships,
and the tools needed to ameliorate these behaviors are found in
this book. It is a comprehensive road map for creating systems that
promote healthy relationships and providing systemic change to stop
bullying in schools."--from the Foreword by Susan M. Swearer, PhD,

Co-Director, Bullying Research Network
"It is widely known that bullying prevention is a critical
component for safe and inclusive schools, but if you are looking
for howto prevent bullying, this book is for you. The authors spell
it all out, translating research into practice and saving readers
hours of potential time lost on common pitfalls and ineffective
strategies. I plan to share takeaways from this book with my school
leadership and social–emotional learning teams, which not only will
lead to improved bullying prevention efforts, but also will advance
our systemic practices in teaming, data-based problem solving, and
parent and community partnerships."--Julia Wigert, EdS, NCSP,
school psychologist, Denver Public Schools-This book skillfully
balances research and practical considerations while walking
readers through a model for schoolwide bullying prevention. The
book's major strength is its practical value; it reflects the
authentic experiences of school professionals. This reviewer highly
recommends the text as a resource for educators looking to get
involved in bullying prevention efforts. It may be particularly
useful to school psychologists looking to incorporate more nuanced
antibullying practices into schoolwide initiatives in which they
already have leadership roles.--NASP Communiqué, 9/1/2024
