SAFE Schools - Teacher Version

The intervention was designed to be delivered in a face-to-face and group format to teachers of 7 th to 9 th graders, within the school context. Its goals are to help teachers better understand and manage their students’ practice of aggressive behaviour and, alternatively, model and reinforce prosocial and assertive behaviours, contributing to a more positive relational climate in the classroom. The program is organized across four modules: Cognitive and emotional motivations for aggression, Managing behaviours in the classroom, and Promotion and management of alternative behaviours to aggression. These modules are covered over a span of 25 hours scheduled during a 14-week period according to the teachers’ availability.
