My day is completely filled now. If I did all that is expected of me, I would need a 25 hour day and two of me. Now you want me to write the Crisis Contingency Plan for Terrorist Attack. You can't be serious!  Teachers, Counselors and Administrators are saying the same thing. Does this sound like something you have said lately?

 

Canadian School Violence Prevention Conference and Workshop Day 1. Assessing the Potentially Dangerous Student. What are the the Early Warning Signs that Schools should know? If observed, what do they mean? How important is just one sign? In this workshop, these and many more questions will be answered. You will be Certified to use the Keys Assessment Instrument, a unique tool that weighs the early and imminent warning signs and leads to identifying students who are in need of immediate intervention.    Day 2 and Day 3. Train-the-Trainer: Bullying Stops When Respect Begins. This is not an anti-bullying campaign. It teaches students the character trait of respect and replaces bullying with a more positive behavior. It is both a campaign and a program. Upon completion, you will be Certified as a Trainer with the ability to return to your school and train both staff and students to help others.  There is a Trainers Manual and Student Character Ed. Workbook include as well. Day 4. Terrorism and What Schools Can Do. This workshop will look at common, existing delivery systems and concentrate on three major areas of vulnerability within schools;       * Transportation,  * Vending/Delivery Services,                   and * Food Service. (see article)  Terrorism is more widespread than ever and signs indicate that it will continue to expand. Guidelines published for industry and government agencies do not work well for schools. This workshop will discuss what does work and what schools can do practically. At the completion of this workshop, participants will have completed Terrorism Contingency Plan. If you work with students, as an educator, School Resource Officer, parent or other capacity, make plans now to join us in Orangeville, Ontario Canada May 25-28, 2004 to learn from others in the field how your organization can increase its' ability to safe-guard Students and Staff.
