A great deal of attention is being paid to school safety and security, following several high-profile incidents of school violence. The whole child approach to education features "safe" as its second of five key tenets. It states that "each student learns in an environment that is physically and emotionally safe for students and adults." In this session, participants will take a deep dive into this tenet and its 10 indicators. Attendees will take away an approach to making key safety decisions from a global context that is proactive, rather than reactive to newsworthy events.
