If you agree that learning from leaders who are doing the work is the best professional learning, then join us as we continue to look at school safety for this asynchronous event. For this topic, we will hear from leaders who have been where you are or who are now striving to do the work you do. All the presenters for this event are focused on creating a safe environment for students and teachers, building a school culture that supports learning and the entire school community, and creating meaningful and user-friendly safety plans. They will talk about all the things that matter to you as you plan for the 2025/2026 school year including school culture, PBIS, MTSS, cultures of supportive learning, safety planning, and team building to create a safe environment even in the most challenging locations. Each of the three presenters were asked to consider these three things and then to create and deliver a one-hour presentation around their own work.
- The importance of creating a culture that feels both safe and academically challenging for teachers, staff, and students.
- What does a safe school ‘look like’ in 2025 and how can leaders support that model.
- What can you as the principal/leader do to ‘turn around’ a less than safe school culture?
- What is PBIS, TMSS, Safe Room Training, and De-escalation Strategies?
- Do you have an event safety plan?
- Do you know how to access your off-campus site in a crisis?
- Do you know your homeland security guidelines?
Here is what is required of our subscribers to receive full TASL credit:
-You will register for this event. Once you are registered, you will receive a link to 3-5 videos on this topic.
-You may select to view them all, or you may complete any of them to equal 7-8 hours of recorded time. Each video will be marked so that you may select easily.
-You will then need to finish the evaluation and the short assessment on each viewed recording and submit that to Dr. Shelton no later than June 4, 2025.
-Your work will be verified and the TASL certificate will be issued to you via email by June 10, 2025.
All directions for you to use to open the videos, complete and submit the handouts, quizzes, and evaluations will be sent to you soon after you register, but credit will only be given after the materials are collected by Dr. Shelton and these documents must be completed and submitted to her no later than the end of business on June 4, 2025. The TASL approval date for this event is June 4, 2025 and that is what will be listed on your official certificate of attendance. If you have leaders who need TASL credit near the end of the year, but who do not want to leave their schools to attend, they may register for this event and complete the videos in their own time period, but they must be ALI subscribers to register.
We will be hosting three asynchronous 8-hour events in the first week of June, so a subscriber may earn a total of 24 hours of TASL credit using this process. Beginning with Leaders and the Law, we will then offer Safe Schools on June 4, 2025, and New Leader’s Cohort on June 5, 2025.
