Principals’ Perceptions on Bullying Interventions and Strategies in Georgia High Schools

<p>The purpose of this study was to determine to what extent principals implemented programs, policies and strategies to prevent bullying. This study employed a quantitative research design using survey methods. The instrument in this study was modified from its original version and utilized by Megan E. DiPaola-Allen in her study <em>Elementary Principals’ Perceptions Regarding Bully Prevention Activities</em> (2013). The survey was sent electronically to eight urban, eight suburban and eight rural public high school principals in Georgia through Survey Monkey. Of the 24 principals surveyed, 100% participated in the study. Findings suggested that more professional development could be utilized in this area and that identification of a universal definition of bullying was essential to understanding the topic and conducting future research.</p>
