About the Safe to Learn Project
by Dee Beaugez, MA - Founder Safe to Learn
Ada Rosario Dolch, Author of "Principles for Principals, Leading the Way to School Safety"
Our world is changing and I believe that schools can adapt to these changes by demonstrating the leadership to embrace a culture of safety and security.
It is time to renew our commitment to safety within and outside the classroom and to do so with the “best practices” at hand. Start today by reading Ada Rosario Dolch’s book, Principles for Principals, Leading the Way to School Safety. It is available FREE to every principal. .
Children Have to Feel Safe to Learn
Safe learning environments are more than brick and mortar. Teachers, administrators and staff need to feel confidence in their skills; know that their school's emergency procedures were written for their specific campus and have an inner sense of safety. School staff and students need to train together and trust each other. They also need to learn how to think and respond to any emergency, incident or conflict that could impact their school, the District or their community.
Our goal for the Safe to Learn Project is to always remain a community of caring people with the same mission: What is best for all children and keeping them safe so they will be able to learn.
Our goal is to provide leadership tools that educate and empower all stakeholders of each Safe to Learn Community: students, administrators, educators, school staff, parents, law enforcers, fire fighters, emergency medical (EMS) professionals, doctors, medical staff, dentists, judges, recreation program directors, prosecutors, probation directors, public health educators, mental health leaders, youth-serving professionals and students to better shape safe learning environments one school at a time.
The outcome of these collective endeavors is the flourishing of all schools as oases of creativity, engagement, and learning that allows for the fulfillment of the highest ideals of learning, well-being and personal achievement.
Safe to Learn is a community of practice movement that creates momentum through networks of individuals who believe that every child attending school learns best when he or she also has a fundamental and profound sense of personal security and well-being, safety, confidence and acceptance.
All children deserve to attend safe and secure schools; yet the frequency and severity of school violence, bullying, human-caused incidents and natural disasters is escalating. Our world is changing and schools can adapt to these changes by demonstrating the leadership to embrace a culture of safety and security. Thus, it is time to renew our commitment to safety and the need for access to information that can be used to help all students feel safe within and outside the classroom and to do so with the “best practices” at hand.
Let’s work together to support school safety so all children can be safe to learn.
