Description
This session will inform participants of the relationship between perceived efficacy of school violence prevention programs and perceived school climate in rural schools. School violence is believed to negatively impact school climate, but little is known on how school violence prevention programs can impact school climate. Data collection will begin in November 2020; therefore, preliminary results will be presented. Participants will learn how school violence may affect school climate and specific interventions to support schools.
