Why Choose Rachel’s Challenge?
Rachel’s Challenge is an evidence-based anti-bullying program designed to reduce bullying in schools and help teachers and students improve school culture. Three main reasons to choose Rachel’s Challenge include:
Programs help break down the walls between students and educators that lead to isolation, bullying, gun violence, and teen suicide. Respected educator and best-selling author Dr. Robert Marzono says, “Rachel’s Challenge is the most powerful intervention I have seen in my 45 years in education.”
Reducing incidents of bullying is at the core of our programs, but the lessons and activities go beyond addressing aggression. Our programs are non-religious and non-political. They are based on universal ideas of compassion, self-respect, and respect for others.
Step 1: Inspirational Assembly
Live assembly programs and training are foundational for breaking down the barriers that isolate young people from the resources that can help them. Rachel’s Challenge live assemblies invite reflection and inspire hope with interactive training, story presentations, and age-appropriate tools.
Step 2: Student & Educator Training
Any successful California anti-bullying program must include training for students and educators. Rachel’s Challenge programs offer on-site training that is appropriate to meet each school’s needs and age considerations.
Step 3: School-Wide Initiatives
School-wide initiatives confirm that school leadership, including student leaders, teachers, and school administrators, share a common goal. Incorporating anti-bullying policies into a school’s mission statement is one example.
Our program RC Digital provides ongoing curriculum and support throughout the school year for maximum sustainability.
Step 4: Measurable Impact
Schools that incorporate a Rachel’s Challenge program into their anti-bullying campaigns report fewer incidents of bullying and a decrease in disciplinary referrals. On average, it’s estimated that Rachel’s Challenge programs prevent 150 suicides annually.
