Abstract
Decisions regarding school improvement are based on observations of adults. A more accurate picture of institutional assets and limitations emerges when observations of students are also considered. This presentation shows how student polling can help principals enhance conditions of learning and safety. Implications of Cyberbully Poll results at one junior high are summarized so that stakeholders can understand local severity, motivation for abuse, and need for greater parent orientation to this danger. The leadership role of principles is emphasized.
Keywords cyberbullying, polling, adolescents, school principals, stakeholders
