Workshop Overview
This three-part interactive workshop will focus on the school and school leaders’ approach to creating a culture of safety.
Part I: Creating a Culture of Safety: Steps Your School Should Be Taking to Ensure Healthy Employee Interactions with Students
Helping employees to set and maintain appropriate boundaries with students takes a systemic approach by schools – from trustee level governance and oversight, through head of school and school leadership carrying out the school’s mission and creating a culture of safety, down to awareness, training and guidance for every level of employee. Learn the steps your school should be taking including adoption and enforcement of code of conduct policies and educating employees on setting and maintaining appropriate boundaries and knowing when to come forward with concerns. In this session, school administrators will hear about: (1) what steps a school should take to help ensure appropriate and healthy interactions between employees and students; (2) what policies and training programs the school should have in this area; and (3) what steps a school should take to respond to situations of this nature as they arise.
Part II: Employee Codes of Conduct: Implementation and Enforcement Best Practices
Recent media attention has focused a spotlight on the critical importance of ensuring that all employees, teachers, administrators, and staff maintain healthy relationships with students. This session will address how a Code of Conduct can be used as an effective means to communicate the behavioral expectations and prohibitions relating more to adult conduct with students and how to respond to violations of the code as they arise.
Part III: Ten Steps to Effective Crisis Response
It can happen at any time. You find out that a student is selling illegal drugs to other students on campus, that a student has been hazed or assaulted by other students, or that a school employee is rumored to be having an inappropriate sexual relationship with one of your students. How you respond to a situation involving the safety and well-being of your students is critical to both those involved in the situation and the operation and long-term reputation of your school. A poorly handled situation can lead to significant distraction and harm to all those involved. A well-handled response allows the school and individuals to focus on the issues at hand as well as the health and well-being of all those involved. In short, thoughtful action at the time of the incident provides the opportunity to reinforce your values with all constituencies, and the freedom and ability to look forward rather than backward. This session will address ten steps to effective crisis response to help guide you to respond to situations as they arise.
