New NEA Resource Prevents, Addresses Violent Behavior

 

All educators want students to learn and be successful academically, behaviorally and socially in the school. Educators know that students learn more when they feel safe, and educators also want to work in a safe environment.

 


Now, the NEA Health Information Network (HIN) School Crisis Guide Web site has a new resource to help educators prevent violent behavior. The guide, Preventing and Addressing Violent Behavior: Taking Proactive Steps to School Safety, focuses on taking a proactive prevention approach to making the working and learning environment safe and violence free for students and educators.

 


This guide provides an overview of effective classroom management strategies, describes evidence-based whole school approaches, such as school-wide positive behavioral support programs and teaching social skills, provides guidance on what to do when an educator is assaulted and offers excellent resources to learn more about preventive strategies.

 

The guide was developed as a collaborative project of the NEA and NEA HIN in consultation with the National Association of School Psychologists and the American Psychological Association.
