Beskrivning

The day after the deadly shooting at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School the rallying cry heard across the country was “no-more school shootings!” It was clearly evident that school shootings are increasing and reactive measures are not going to change this. Images from Parkland, Sandy Hook, and Columbine made it ever so clear that whereas the atrocities caught our attention, schools are still soft targets. There are no manuals from the United States Department of Education to turn to for guidance to secure schools. No guidance on how to train administration and staff, as they truly are the first responders in such an event. Rather than wait for the heads of the federal and state education departments to step up and take-action, the time has come for all school leaders and administrators to take the step to protect their school communities. This book will help school leaders and administrators proactively take action to protect their school communities and yet still maintain a warm and nurturing learning environment.

Recensioner i media

A must read for school leaders whose first thought every morning is how do I keep my students safe today? In School SafetyDr. Susan Vickers and Kevin L. Smith take school leaders on a journey of discovery for the impact and consequences of issues surrounding school safety. Most school leaders began their career as teachers and never thought about having to deal with the uncountable number of safety issues we deal with on a day to day basis. This book creates a platform of thoughtful dialog around this new job qualification that none of us ever dreamed of or wanted.
