educational system. Federal, State and Local governments have injected billions of dollars toward this mission, resulting in unequaled success. But, as with any profession in a dynamic environment, maintaining a safe and healthy environment in the schools requires constant refinement. The School Safety and Healthy Children course is a research based training system designed to supplement existing polices. The course was developed by international school-safety expert, Mike Dorn, with the assistance of Col. Dave Grossman (one of the top authority on school shootings) and Bruce Siddle (a pioneer in survival physiology and critical event decision making). This system is designed to enhance the ability of the educational employee to spot and address a wide range of risks from taunting to terrorism, using the “all hazards” approach as recommended by the United States Dept. of Education.
administrators on demand implementation utilizing their own instructors, in lieu of high priced consultants. This is accomplished through a Modular Training System and through the Human Factors Research Group (HFRG) Instructor certification program. Modular Training Systems recognizes the time limitations for in-service sessions. Thus, each chapter of the course is based upon a series of training modules that can be delivered in 20 to 60 minutes of in-service sessions for teachers, parents and students. Instructor certification is based upon modules developed by the HFRG experience in training over 50, 000 criminal justice and military instructors over a period of 28 years. This process has been used for training 70,000 TSA federal passenger and baggage screeners, Federal Air Marshals and Delta Air Lines flight attendants to meet federal guidelines for terrorist threats in air security. The Instructor certification allows participants to immediately train and certify students without additional expense to school systems, beyond the course materials. This methodology reduces the need for high priced consultants, gives the school system the maximum flexibility in training as many instructors as needed for a school district and ultimately gives an administrator the ability to implement the training “on demand”. |
