Description of KASSI
This award-winning character education and bullying prevention program is based on outcome research gathered from over 125 schools. The character education part helps create a positive school climate that gives increased attention to pro-social behaviors. Our findings indicate that when a school implements our program, bullying behaviors almost immediately go down by 30% and put-downs are reduced by up to 94%. By implementing the three-part program over two years, it is possible to virtually eliminate bullying and put-downs in a school.

1) All school, classroom and counseling activities for creating a character education program and a positive learning climate for your school,

4) Materials to help a school start a peer mediation program at your school and
5)
