The safety of our schools is being challenged; teachers and administrators are under scrutiny for their role and one way or another, every parent has experienced directly within their own circles, the consequences of bullying. It’s all beginning to feel frighteningly close to home.
At Wheel Houz, we believe the problem is even more widespread than thought as so many children, those who are victims and those who have taken on the role of protagonist alike, elect to suffer silently.
We believe with the right tools and a platform, children will step forward to be heard and will want to be a part of the solution.
That’s why we believe the solution to bullying involves giving children a voice and a way to mobilize.
"A New Way to Look at You(tm)" addresses these issues in a positive, collaborative, student-led format. We believe it is the only program designed to help schools “get ahead of the curve,” of at-school and cyber bullying.
Consisting of a set of 3 online applications (also available separately and in print)that empower children, those who feel like outsiders and insiders alike, to change how they see themselves in the classroom, so they can change how they act, interact and learn.
