Preventing Youth Violence in Schools (4-hour course)
Instructed by Jeff Bailey

Providing a safe learning environment for children has become increasingly difficult during the past ten years. Building a safe place where children can learn depends on a strong partnership between community members, students, and law enforcement agencies. Any teacher could be faced with a school violence situation, even in the most rural area. In this course, teachers will learn critical information on the condition of schools today, ways to reduce school violence, how to collaborate with parents, law enforcement, school faculty, and students, and how to prepare for and respond to a school violence situation.

Certificate of Completion

The same educators' courses are also available with certificates of completion without C.E.U. credits.
