Research
reveals a child needs
to
be fed nutritionally and
to
feel “safe, loved, valued”
for
the brain to be
most
receptive to learning.
Academic success increases
with
a
“Focus
on Safety”.
Community
Initiatives:
Conduct
sessions, led by Safer Schools Team members, to explore topics to assure an
environment receptive to learning:
·“Fed nutritionally”: donate financial support to Backpack-Food Program for Children to provide nutritional weekend/summer meals
·Telling is not
Tattling: It is a means of protecting oneself and others. Students are often the first to know
critical information “under the radar”.
·Restorative
Practices: positive learning, healing, and growth for all
involved
·Tutoring/Shared
Time: volunteers to support academic achievement and individual
attention and affirmation
How can we effectively assure the safety of our children and school personnel?
