• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

School Safety confronts one of the most urgent and unsettling challenges facing American education today: the alarming rise of school rampage shootings. As these once-unthinkable tragedies become tragically common, the need for informed, courageous, and capable leadership has never been greater. This timely and essential book offers a comprehensive exploration of school safety, not merely as a set of protocols but as a complex, dynamic system requiring thoughtful coordination and decisive action. What sets School Safety apart is its unique approach-unpacking the intricate relationships among the many factors that influence safety in schools, and presenting practical, real-world strategies to manage and mitigate these risks. Equally distinctive is the expert team behind the book: a diverse group of professionals whose combined skills, education, and deep experience in education, leadership, crisis response, and mental health create a richly informed and actionable resource. School Safety is a vital guide for school leaders, policymakers, educators, and anyone committed to creating safer, more resilient learning environments for all.
