Invitational Forum on Student Conduct and Violence in Schools Proceedings (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, November 19-20, 1993).
Alberta Dept. of Education, Edmonton.
This publication presents the proceedings of the invitational forum on student conduct and violence in schools in Canada. Participants identified several key issues related to student conduct and violence in schools. Those internal to schools include school climate, student values and attitudes, consequences of behavior, and peer culture. Issues that involve the entire school community include societal attitudes toward violence, community resources and service delivery, early intervention programs, rights and responsibilities, the role of families, the role of the media, and cultural understandings. Forum participants developed strategies to address each of the key issues and identified appropriate actions to be taken by all involved groups. Recommendations were made to: (1) work together; (2) create a shared vision; (3) communicate and share information; (4) promote and model positive values; (5) provide education and training; (6) promote media literacy; (7) emphasize prevention; (8) work with parents; (9) translate at least one forum idea into reality; and (10) follow up on forum ideas. Appendices contain the forum agenda, a summary of presentations, and a list of participants. (LMI)
