Be the 1 Positive School Culture Initiative

Use the Be the 1 Positive School Culture Initiative (PSCI) Toolkit to help create safer and more respectful school environments where all students can thrive. Only when students feel safe, can they truly focus on social and emotional learning (SEL) and academic success. Be the 1 uses evidence-based strategies to permanently imbed Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) for violence prevention and intervention within your school (grades K-12) in a continuous improvement model.

The messaging of this pro-social marketing campaign and lessons will inspire your students to Be the 1 to help prevent and intervene with bullying. Create a safer and more respectful school environment by showing students that although some students bully others, most don’t. Use this toolkit to teach your students:

• Every 1 deserves respect! Most of us don’t bully. Be the 1 who recognizes it if you see it.
• When 1 of us is bullied, we all hurt. Every 1 deserves to feel safe and respected.
• Every 1 can stop bullying! Be the 1 to intervene in your own way.
