Olweus Builds College, Career and Life Skills
Effective communication critical thinking, problem solving, working productively in teams, ethical decision-making and social responsibility are skills the
Career Readiness Partner Council names as critical to career readiness. These important life skills are woven into the fabric of the school day at 44 Stark County area schools through the
Olweus Bullying Prevention Program. The PK-12 Olweus program, a comprehensive approach focused on long-term change, creates a safe and positive school climate.
 Louisville and North Nimishillen Elementaries have embraced the Olweus program through their
Upstander Positive Behavior Program. An Upstander is a person who follows the four guiding principles of Olweus - not bullying others, helping those who are being bullied, including students who are left out, and alerting adults at school and at home when bullying occurs.
Principal Mike Norris and Counselor Kerry Swigert shared that the Olweus program has brought
"a focus of respect, kindness and courage" to their school as the central theme. According to the teacher surveys the positive climate is increasing and students are responsibly reporting and standing up for one another.
The elementary students and staff have engaged the entire community in their Upstander program. Louisville students, teachers, parents and community members proudly wear Upstander shirts and continue dialogue about the importance of being kind, courageous, and standing up for those who are bullied. "
Our school and general community support is amazing," said Swigert.
