PREPaRE Workshop 1: Comprehensive School Safety Planning: Prevention Through Recovery (Third Edition)
|
Course Number | ISCA 304 |
Course Overview | This course is part of the PREPaRE School Safety and Crisis Prevention and Intervention Training Curriculum developed by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP). The workshop is designed for all members of a school safety and crisis team (e.g., administrators, school-employed mental health professionals, school resource officers or security personnel, and other relevant staff members). It provides current research and strategies for integrated school safety and crisis prevention, planning, response, and recovery efforts as they pertain to safety and crisis team development, planning, and procedures. Participants will learn how to establish and sustain comprehensive school safety efforts that attend to both physical and psychological safety. The course addresses critical components needed to develop, exercise, and evaluate safety and crisis teams and plans and conduct building vulnerability assessments. The model also integrates school personnel and community provider roles in providing school-based crisis preparedness and response activities. Additional topics addressed also include media/social media, communication, reunification, students with special needs, culture, and memorials. After this course, participants will be better prepared to improve their schools’ climate, students’ resilience, and crisis response capabilities of school personnel. With updated research and strategies this workshop makes a clear connection between ongoing crisis prevention, mitigation, protection and response. |
