One of the classes I teach is for high school students who have chosen Student Leadership as an elective. This course is at an all time high of 60 students with 30 who have developed a bullying prevention curriculum taught in our elementary schools. The high school students are now teaching bullying prevention to approximately 400 elementary students in 25 classrooms. The high school students genuinely care about their impact on the grade school students and understand their position as role models. All students are part of our public school district serving a rural area. Our minority population is largely comprised of Native American students. In our third year of work on bullying prevention, we can see that we are having an impact. Elementary staff report students understanding and discussing the importance of standing up for each other using such terms as being an "upstander," yet we must continue to build students' capacity as upstanders when no one else is looking.
