Awareness + Action Plan = Safety!
How prepared are you and your students if an adverse situation occurred in your school?
Room 23 and the Lock-Down Drill
focuses on the one event no-one ever wants to experience but the one for which everyone must prepare—how to stay safe during an active threat.
Miss Kindheart’s class hears a sudden lock-down announcement and are at first confused. A visit from Officer Michael helps the class reinforce all the ways they already know how to be safe and are introduced to other vital components to a new safety routine.
gives teachers a way to talk to their students about how to implement this very necessary but potentially difficult safety protocol, and it helps students understand how they can empower themselves and each other to stay safe in adverse conditions.
With safety skills recommended by NASRO (the National Association of School Resource Officers) and NASP (National Association of School Psychologists), this safety routine can be utilized in any school. This book can be read aloud in a group or used individually. There are also lesson plan guidelines available to help any school or school district create an action plan that is easily understood by all.
