Tuesday Teacher Training: It Can Happen Here
The past few years have taught educators some hard lessons about the safety of our schools. In order to ensure that our schools are safe havens, educators must now face the reality of planning for preventing violence, or planning to react quickly and efficiently to violence. However unpleasant these options are, all teachers must be prepared. In this training, teachers will learn how to identify potential problems and to determine warning signs. In addition, teachers will identify effective behaviors that can help dangerous situations to be avoided and learn the most essential steps to take in the event that a violent act occurs. This is one lesson no one hopes to need, but also one that teachers cannot afford to be without.
