Prevalence of victimization of bullying occurs highest in elementary school. One study estimates that 19% of elementary students suffer from bullying. While the prevalence of victimization is slightly lower in middle school, 11% of students are reporting occasional bullying (Pellegrini & Brooks, 2001). The Olweus Bullying Prevention Program is a school-based and research-based program that prevents bullying in all forms and addresses other inappropriate behavior among children in our community. This program has been implemented in elementary and middle schools throughout **** County such as ****. This program is currently funded by the **** County Drug & Alcohol Commission, Inc. and a grant from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency. The grants that have been obtained are currently funding training at the 6 involved schools for administrative staff and classroom teachers. Presently, the needs for training materials and incentives for students and staff are under met.
Target Population

Grant proposal A was about implementing an expansion to ABC’s Alternative Breaks program to send groups of students to various communities around the country. Overall, I felt this grant was well written. This grant proposal is straight to the point, but gives enough information within most areas where clarification in not necessary. This grant proposal falls under the community service, and civic engagement categories. Although this grant proposal is for an expansion of preexisting program, I can see why they want to expand the program. The program is helps bring awareness to social problems, promotes physical activity, and helps entice people to engage in their communities. I feel that this expansion program would benefit communities,
One child out of two in grades four thru twelve have all reported being bullied. The cases of bullying being reported does trend down as the child gets older (Stop Bullying.gov). Children and teens that are abnormal or considered to be different from others seem to be targeted by the bully most frequently. The LGBT community (gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender), individuals who are obese, students with disabilities, or students known to be weak or viewed as inferior are the most frequently under attack. The LGBT community is more likely to have ideation or attempt suicide because of bullying than their heterosexual classmates (Suicide Prevention Resource Center, 2014).
A majority of bullying takes place during our elementary or in high school.. Peer pressure is reported to be a frequent reason as to why students feel the need to bully their peers. Many people have experienced bullying in some way throughout their lifetime. Some people were victims of bullying, while others were the ones doing the bullying, or in some cases, they were both. It isn’t rare to hear that
Grant proposal preparation and submission is a tedious and intimidating job. However as public funding continues to decrease many colleges and universities look for research grants to support their educational research mission (Education advisory Board, 2014). According to licklider (2012), external grants helps to support higher education’s missions of educational research, outreach and economic development. Which is one of the reasons why higher education push for their research faculty to pursue research grants. As a matter of fact, many universities offer course release and incentives for awarded research grants, including Drexel University.
This paper is all about this scenario; imagine that your team is the planning unit in your local police department. The chief of police has told you that a philanthropist in town is considering giving a $100,000 grant to a worthy cause in the department. The chief has charged your team with deciding how, when, and where that money will be spent.

policy will be followed, and may result in dismissal of the student from Indiana Wesleyan
Many levels of support are needed to conduct this program including administrators, an Olweus Bullying Prevention Coordinating Committee (BPCC), teaching staff, non-teaching staff (such as bus drivers, cafeteria workers, janitors, nurses, secretaries, librarians, and school counselors), parents, law enforcement
I have to admit most of the time I am always up for a challenge. However, preparing a well written successful grant proposal is just one of the many challenges to grant funding. I chose option A. a Coca-Cola local plant’s foundation grant for $20,000 to start a class at a local high school on career selection. I believe that it is best for someone like me without any experience to start out on a small scale by choosing a short term project with a public funder. My decision was based on the complicated policies and regulations that Dr. Crum describes in the Grants Managing Section. According to Crum, Federal Grants have numerous regulations, Congressional Acts, and Office Management and Budget Circulars that may have special grant exclusions and caveats. These exclusions and stipulations have specific guidelines that must be met in order to insure funds are spent appropriately. Managing federal grants can be a huge undertaking, especially for grantees with simultaneous grant management deadlines
School bullying and bullying as a whole has become a growing concern. The need for more intervention is more recognized, as incidents of bullying and inappropriate acts towards others occur in places outside of the classroom. This literature takes a closer look at bullying in schools. Olwesus (2013) states “the field of bullying research is to some extent plagued by problems, disagreements, and unresolved issues” (p.752). Whether if anyone will agree on the root of bullying, the fact remains that bullying has to be examined at its very core to remedy the matter before it becomes a bigger concern. There is a dire need for intervention based programs to be set in place to address the fact the act of bullying has lasting effects on the bully and the victim. When intervention programs are put into place to address bullying, the act of bullying decreases due to the gained understanding of the effects.
Many of us believe it is the younger age group that is bullied most often, we think this because they are still in the stages of growing up. However, according to “Age Trends in the Prevalence of Bullying” (2007), “bullying affects kids ages 11-15, they have also noticed, once the teen hits ninth grade bullying begins to peak.” (p. 1) The article “Bullying Statistics” (n.d) claims teens in sixth through 10th grade are likely to be involved in activities related to bullying (para. 2).” The definition of bullying according to Merriam Webster (2016), is to frighten, hurt, or threaten (a smaller or weaker person) (p. 1).”
II, According to a research survey, bullying occurs once every 7 minutes in schools. Due to the National Youth Violence Prevention Center, almost 30% of adolescences in the USA (or over 5.7 millions) are estimated to take part in bullying either bullying, being bullied or both. Also according to a 2007 nationally representative poll by The Workplace Bullying Institute, 37% of US workforce or 54 million employees have been bullied some time during their work time.
Applying the strategies for writing proposals studied this week, I will be comparing the grant proposal requirements for three separate foundations. The organizations being investigated are the W.K. Kellogg, the Sherman, and Mellon Foundation. Furthermore, I will proceed by reviewing the specific needs for each proposal distinguishing which elements remained the same across each foundation. Moreover, I continue by noting any changes that must be made to the strategy used to produce a proposal. Finally, I present any challenges that may arise from utilizing an online proposal process versus a paper-based process.
Middle school students experience an onset of changes. The transition from elementary school, the start or puberty, and peer socialization can have adverse psychological effects on students. Due to the ongoing changes there is a typical trajectory of bullying and peer victimization from a developmental perspective is an increase and peak, during middle school years and a decrease during high school years (Klein, Cornell, & Konold, 2012). According to a recent survey published by the American Psychological Association, 38.6% of middle school students reported peer victimization,
Bullying is such a dominant problem in schools that counselors must strive to discover effective strategies to address the issue. What intervention strategies are perceived by the counselors at a large diverse high school to be most effective in response to or in prevention of bullying? What is the
