Self-Assessment for School Safety – Prevention and Intervention

Check Yourself Out. See how many YES responses you have. The greater number of YES responses, the greater your level of pro-action and prevention.

  • Do you teach basic personal, emotional, behavioral, and social skills (PEBS) to all students K-12?
  • Do your students learn the 21st Century Skill scaffolding developmentally, K-12.
  • Does staff support, participate, and implement those skills taught?
  • Do you include self-talk, self-picture, relaxation, brain integration, and sensory activities for all students?
  • Do you have a positive behavior plan for all students?
  • Does your staff participate in personal and professional growth plans?
  • Do you include family involvement in the process?
  • Do you have an inviting school climate plan?
  • Do you evaluate and use diagnostic assessments to guide your student (PEBS) skill progress every year?
  • Do you prioritize working with the Whole student?
  • Do you avoid being focused on academics and testing to the detriment of empowering the whole student?
  • Do you prioritize your professional time working with all students, staff, and families?
  • Do you have a reasonable ratio of school ADM to professionals in your school district and school?
  • Do you have an identified resource network for community connections and support?

    • Check yourself out. The Classroom Group Guidance System Checklist is another way you can assess and evaluate your program for pro-action and prevention.

      What Did You Discover From Your Self-Assessments?

      Overview of the System School Safety Formula

    • Comprehensive School Counseling Program System – Program Components Are Interrelated and Interactive
    • Guidance System is the Foundation of the School Counseling Program
    • Crisis Plan

      • School Safety

      Schools, families, and communities can break the cycle and help students develop their spirit, purpose, and potential when:

    • they feel connected with the schooling process
    • they feel comfortable being in a classroom
    • student–teacher and student–student relationships are viewed as a major factor in student safety
    • students see peers as someone to help and not someone to “beat”
    • students have learned the personal, social, emotional, and behavioral skills needed to communicate and belong

      • The whole is equal to more than the sum of its parts. — Tommie R. Radd, Ph.D.

    The Real Classroom

    Life Lab

    A way of defining the classroom as a simulation in which students, pre-K-12 and beyond, learn, experience, and apply the essential skills needed for life; the comprehensive developmental guidance system creates a life lab in every classroom through which students develop a conscious and intentional from of reference that can be applied throughout life.

    Joel A. Barker, Futurist

    • School is a place that is a “life preparation center.”
    • Real live collaboration is 50% of all work in the real world.

    Invitational Education Formula

    Students can develop their spirit, purpose and potential when . . .

    • there is a plan for change that is an integral part of the day-to-day operation of a school.
    • there is a conscious plan to support the self-concept development of all within a school.
    • the perception of students, staff, and families regarding school relationships, procedures, and policies is communicated and modified when it is destructive.
    • personal, social, emotional, and behavioral skills are taught.
    • students provide ongoing feedback to educators as to their day-to-day experiences in school.
    • there is an intentional process for consciously creating an inviting environment for all students.

    Response To Intervention (RTI) Definition

    Response To Intervention (RTI) is the practice of providing high-quality instruction and interventions matched to student need, monitoring progress frequently to make changes in instruction or goals, and applying child response data to important educational decisions.

    Assessments

    A 43-question diagnostic class climate assessment, taken by students, which gives student input about their classroom experience and whether they have a feeling of being “invited”; a diagnostic tool to involve students and get their input on ways to improve climate and school relationships; one indicator of ways to support staff growth experiences and plans; one way to observe and evaluate change at the end of a school year through pre-post assessment; the school climate assessment included in The Grow With Guidance® System.

    A 42-question diagnostic curriculum assessment taken by students that provides student input into their classroom guidance curriculum activity selection; a diagnostic tool to involve students and create a sense of student ownership for guidance skill implementation and change (Note: ownership occurs when students “own” a problem and admit, recognize, and acknowledge personal needs and challenges that support assuming responsibility and commitment for change); assessment questions asked in the five essential learning strands of the curriculum of The Grow With Guidance® System; one way to observe and evaluate change at the end of the school year through pre-post assessment; the student curriculum assessment included in The Grow With Guidance® System.

    Many in education, psychology, sociology, and related fields have recognized the significant relationship between selfconcept and school achievement. On the basis of available research, it now appears that students who doubt their ability to learn in school carry with them a tremendous educational handicap. The purpose of The Florida Key is to provide teachers, counselors, and related professionals with a relatively simple instrument designed to measure both inferred and professed student self-concept-as-learner. It provides teachers and related professionals insight into students’ perceptions of themselves as learners. The Florida Key identifies and measures selected student behaviors that are believed by classroom teachers to correlate with positive realistic student self-concepts in the area of school success.

    1. All are important and valuable no matter what they think, say, feel, and do.

    2. All show they are remembering their worth by making helpful choices toward themselves and others. They are responsible for helping not hurting self and others.

    3.All are responsible for their choices. This accountability empowers all to make improvements because of their worth.

    How do standards, benchmarks, indicators, and performance observation/evaluation strategies become the foundation of a performance-based system?

    The standards, benchmarks, indicators, and performance observation/evaluation strategies provide the framework for developmental feedback and evidence. This framework is the base for accountability. After the framework is established, clarity of purpose can be communicated to all populations in the schooling process.

    Chemical Dependency

    Schools, communities, and families can break the cycle and help students develop their spirit, purpose, and potential when:

    • The education community and societal groups do not view drug-free school programs in isolation.
    • Schools have an environment in which students are expected to include everyone in activities and projects.
    • The educational community assesses and evaluates existing programs.
    • Educators place personal, social, emotional, and behavioral development at the heart of drug-free school programs.

    Overview of the System Chemical Dependency Formula

    • Comprehensive School Counseling Program System – Program Components Are Interrelated and Interactive
    • Guidance System is the Foundation of the School Counseling Program

    Preventing Heroin Addiction

    Preventing Heroin Addiction

    Enrichment Programs – Student, Staff and Family Development Resources

    Heroin Defined

    Heroin: A substance derived from the plant, poppy flower. Found in most regions of the world, and created in Southeast and Southwest Asia, Central America and the Mideast.

    Heroin comes in two forms, tar and china. Tar is usually made in Mexico, while the china (hence, “fine china”) comes from the other sections of the world in many colors, shades, and cuts.

    There are many ways to use heroin, including intravenously- with a needle, smoking, using foil; “chasing the dragon”, and snorting the substance.

    Many users each year overdose and die, relapse, get arrested, or stay addicted. Heroin is displayed to be a highly fashionable drug, but is not.

    Slang terms for heroin are: junk, dope, smack, shot, shit, h, etc.

    The onset of a heroin “rush” from a needle is about 3-7 seconds, and lasts about 3 seconds. Heroin is horrible and deadly. Believe me, please. I know what I’m saying, don’t think that it’s cool.

    Addiction Information

    • Articles/understanding-addiction: Addiction is a brain disease with some at higher risk – family predisposition is one important factor to teach our communities.

    Brain Imaging Potential

    Recent studies suggest that imaging has the potential to help clinicians determine the most appropriate level of treatment for individual patients and monitor their progress toward recovery. Paulus, Tapert, and Schuckit (2005) performed functional MRI on a group of men entering treatment for methamphetamine addiction while they made decisions during a psychological test.

    Effects of Treatment on the Brain

    Imaging researchers also have been documenting changes that appear to represent brain recovery in response to treatment. One group has applied MRS to evaluate the effects of methadone maintenance therapy on heroin-addicted individuals (Silveri et al., 2004).
