Abstract
While schools are typically safe places, the reality of youth violence, aggression, and bullying in schools and communities cannot be ignored. Research reveals that students regularly report witnessing and experiencing violence in their schools and communities, which ranges from harassment/bullying to serious physical assaults. The presentations and activities will provide a foundation (conceptually, empirically, and practically) for implementing effective prevention and intervention programs to reduce school violence and promote safe and effective schools. 
Clearly, when it comes to school and community violence prevention and intervention “one size does not fit all” and schools need to be able to consider an array of appropriate strategies.  Being able to provide effective prevention and intervention requires knowledge of the factors associated with school violence and school safety.  Providing such knowledge is the primary goal of the presentations and activities.
A safe and effective school framework aligns school safety, student support, and academic achievement across individual, classroom, school, and ideally, community levels.  The risk and protective factors for academic, social, and behavioral problems are often intertwined, thus, interventions that target one domain frequently impact other domains. The presentations and activities will include a discussion of a comprehensive three-level approach to align student support, school safety, and academic achievement. Creating safe, supportive, and effective schools will reduce school violence.
The presentations and activities are designed for scholars and practitioners, providing quintessential knowledge regarding youth violence, aggression, and bullying in schools and communities and promote safe, supportive, and effective schools. The emphasis on research informing professional practice aims to provide fundamental information for scientists, practitioners, and graduate students.
