SCOPE PREVENTION GEMS COURTESY OF THE 2011-2013 ADVISORY BOARD "…unless we re-conceptualize our models of community, we will maintain an allegiance to an ideological system that constantly defines and separates according to a norm based on implicit relations of power…norms are maintained that make those who are different invisible." --William Tierney (quote offered by Sue Rankin, The Pennsylvania State University) "When talking with students about change/prevention we often refer to the need to change the barrel not the apples - I believe the barrel has to be broadly considered to include the students as well as those that work with them - and we cannot afford to consider only single groups within our communities if our desired state is healthier and less risk-vulnerable campus communities." --Kim Novak, Novak Hazing Prevention Institute "Only change that rises from reconceived paradigms is sustainable. Everything else is like shaking a bottle of salad dressing; the ingredients eventually settle back to their original places. We have to dare to imagine what might happen if we redesign the bottle to function free from gravitational pull." --Wendy Murphy, New England School of Law Boston "I think the way we think about, and endeavor to create, community is one of the most important factors in establishing healthy norms in colleges and schools. People care about the groups they join and invest in; we cannot afford to simplify human experience to the individual-level intervention, if the kind of world we dream about is going to come true. In community, we become better versions of ourselves." --Susan Marine, Merrimack College Register for the 2011 SCOPE Annual International Conference to learn more!http://www.wearescope.org/2011conferencedetails.html Advisory Board Member Sessions:
Will we ever be able to eradicate hazing from college and university communities? Are the punishments we assign in response to incidents of hazing preventing the behavior from happening again? Are our current “hazing education” efforts accomplishing anything? Find answers to questions like these in this dynamic session that provides insight into current efforts to focus on prevention of hazing!
The completion of adjudicating a conduct case can often leave staff and students feeling as if there is little or no hope of creating long-term sustained change. We must recognize that the sanctions we design should be developed in accordance with the seriousness of the violation and the circumstances surrounding the conduct. Join us for this interactive dialogue during which you will learn strategies for assigning sanctions that have a higher probability of both educating and providing insight as to how the group or individual can develop more appropriate behavior.
This session will address the following questions:
The National Hazing Study revealed that 55% of students involved in campus clubs, organizations, and teams experienced hazing. Additionally, the findings revealed a major gap between students’ experiences of hazing and their willingness to identify it as such. Understanding the research on hazing is a crucial step toward helping to ensure safe and productive environments for college students. The utilization of research is an essential step toward effective prevention. This presentation describes a national study on hazing and other current research about hazing to focus on how professionals can use research to inform policy and develop and evaluate prevention efforts.
This session will review the constructs of prevention (primary, secondary, tertiary, universal, selective, indicated), the need for educational foundations, the value of one-shot programs, and ways to reinforce prevention messages with protective behaviors and risk reduction messages that do not reinforce myths, blame victims, or create a defensive audience. This session will focus on the value of getting “on message” with an effective philosophy of prevention, screening that message for dissonant elements, and coordinating that message community-wide. It will provoke discussion of mandated programming, learning outcomes and assessment. We’ll also discuss the need to centralize programming, the value of a master calendar, and the concept of a strategic prevention curriculum for schools and colleges. Finally, we’ll address attendance accountability, accountability for attainment of learning outcomes, and clever ways to connect with your audience.
