The Empowering Youth Engaging School (EYES) Initiative supports school leaders in effectively addressing bias, bullying, and other hurtful behaviors within their buildings and school communities. This initiative engages and empowers youth and communities to create safer schools by recognizing and reducing bias-based bullying behaviors.
The National School Climate Center (NSCC) partners with Facing History and Ourselves (FHO), to create a combined preventative approach to bullying through the EYES Initiative. This partnership embraces NSCC’s approach to comprehensive school climate improvement and FHO’s instructional approach to building cultural competency and reducing bullying behaviors.
