Problem
You are the principal of a school that has students from economically disadvantaged homes.
There are conversations regarding bullying (both in-person and via the Internet) going on in your school. You have heard from parents and some teachers, but you have not yet seen any proof of such incidents.
• Problem Analysis Phase
1. Explain how you will confirm the rumors.
• Policy Creation Phase
1. After confirming that there is some validity to the reports, create a policy on bullying and a plan for implementing the policy.
2. State the policy on bullying, identify the behavioral rules that must be followed, reporting procedures, and consequences for bullying behavior.
• Strategic Communication Phase
Once the policy is developed, provide a strategic plan for implementing the policy that addresses the following:
1. With whom will you communicate the proposed policy, and in what order?
2. What kinds of feedback on the proposed policy will you collect and from whom?
3. How will you monitor the policy's implementation and effect?
