Discuss what works, what doesn't work, and what is promising in regard to school-based delinquency prevention programs
What will be an ideal response?
• What works: Programs aimed at building school capacity to initiate and sustain innovation and are aimed at clarifying and communicating norms about behaviors by establishing school rules, improving the consistency of their enforcement (particularly when they emphasize positive reinforcement of appropriate behavior), or communicating norms through school wide campaigns (for example, ant bullying campaigns) or ceremonies.
• Comprehensive instructional programs that focus on a range of social competency skills (such as developing self-control and skills in stress management, responsible decision making, social problem solving, and communication) and that are delivered over a long period of time to continually reinforce skills.
• What doesn't work: Instructional programs that do not focus on social competency skills or do not make use of cognitive-behavioral teaching methods.
• What is promising: Programs that group youths into smaller "schools within schools" to create smaller units, more supportive interactions, or greater flexibility in instruction.
• Classroom or instructional management.
