At our school they have great luck with Restorative Justice principals and Love and Logic techniques in improving student behavior. The school social worker has implemented the programs, and the whole staff in on-board with Restorative Justice. The older kids have regular peer group circles where behavior issues are discussed and resolved. It really works. The kids love having input in resolving issues. The focus is on "making things right" and "treating others how you would like to be treated".
I think that is a great idea. I will mention it as a topic in the milwaukee network as well. Thanks so much for sharing.
It can be challenging in schools with large populations to create such a program. Many schools with volunteers would benefit from this I am sure. Thank you again for your information.

I've heard of cases where school social workers try to have "lunch bunch" gatherings with groups of kids who have various difficulties. It gives the students a way to meet other children in a "supervised yet relaxed" manner, and it also reduces some of the difficulties that come from "unstructured" times like lunch period when new or challenging children don't have other friends to sit with.
