“…The SS/HS program works to prevent youth violence and substance use in schools and communities, and promotes and improves student access to mental health services (Harris, McFarland, Siebold, Aguilar, & Sarmiento, 2007;Massey, Boroughs, & Armstrong, 2007;Sprague, Nishioka, & Smith, 2007). The program recognizes that schools alone cannot respond effectively to violence, substance use, untreated mental illness, and a broad range of antisocial behaviors (Massey, Boroughs, & Armstrong, 2007).…”

“…The program recognizes that schools alone cannot respond effectively to violence, substance use, untreated mental illness, and a broad range of antisocial behaviors (Massey, Boroughs, & Armstrong, 2007). Therefore, SS/HS works to strengthen the role of schools as healthy learning environments that support the academic, social, and emotional growth of students in a collaborative approach among schools and other youth-serving organizations in the community (Sprague, Nishioka, & Smith, 2007).…”

This systematic review examines programs designed to reduce school violence. The review indicates the lack of definitive results of previous reviews, addresses the gaps in the existing literature, and supports the need for social workers to play an active role in organizing, promoting, and coordinating violence reduction processes. In addition, the review attempts to clarify the effects of violence reduction processes as they relate to school culture change.Results indicate that programs identified in this systematic review could help to create positive social environments that reduce incidences of violence creating and atmosphere more favorable to learning. Further, identified programs are shown to reduce office referrals, in school suspensions, and out of school suspensions. While these results are notable, it is likely the identified programs are one component of a holistic strategy for changing school culture. Adding other processes could help to sustain a positive social environment over time and reduce incidence of violence, office referrals, and suspensions. Further study is needed to substantiate this hypothesis as this is beyond this study.

“…Challenging behaviours are also of concern to schools that have a duty of care to provide a safe setting that facilitates learning for students and a secure and safe place of employment for staff. Therefore, educational institutions must have some way to address the dynamics of school aggression and violence (Massey et al, 2007). A long history of dealing with students who will not follow school rules and disrupt the classroom (Morris and Howard, 2003) has meant that discipline has become an integral part of the educational setting.…”

“…In addition to the impact on an individual student's well-being, Massey et al (2007) refer to the impact of suspension on a range of other stakeholders including the school community (peers, teachers, counsellors, etc. ) and the community at large (including parents and community workers).…”

“…The principal purpose of educational systems is controversial and many would argue the key responsibility of schools is to provide children with an academic education. However, Massey et al (2007) suggest that schools do need to address aggression and violence using preventative and intervening approaches, as a part of that educational aim. When the whole school body is occupied with positive changes in the school environment, it builds a shared knowledge of the issues and a collaborative way to address them.…”

Understanding school responses to students’ challenging behaviour: A review of literature

This article explores the varied ways in which schools can respond to students who present with challenging behaviours and who are at risk of disengagement from learning. It sets out a typology of school responses and reflects on the philosophies which underpin each approach. In an effort to rethink the use of suspensions within schools, which contribute to the marginalization of children, the article highlights a range of alternatives to exclusionary practice. It outlines the key elements of approaches that are successful in reducing school suspension and makes evident the benefits of an approach that is tailored to the whole ecology of the child.

Changing the Landscape of Social Emotional Learning in Urban Schools: What are We Currently Focusing On and Where Do We Go from Here?

This study provides a systematic review of the use of social emotional learning (SEL) interventions in urban schools over the last 20 years. I summarize the types of interventions used and the outcomes examined, and I describe the use of culturally responsive pedagogy as a part of each intervention. The review of the 66 studies revealed that few incorporated culturally responsive strategies, and none addressed racism and the role it can play in student mental well-being. Additionally, few researchers measured multiple categories of fidelity of implementation, and few studies included long-term follow-up results of study outcomes. I discuss recommendations for future research in light of Every Student Succeeds Act policies in support of school-based SEL interventions.
