Question
School Violence is an issue that is prevalent in many communities today. We all recall the shootings at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut and the more recent school shootings in Colorado and Texas. But, violence in community schools is not limited to these more high-profile incidents. There are many other examples of how violence in schools is evidenced, including but not limited to physical fighting, verbal abuse, bullying, cyber-bullying, sexual violence, threatening comments or actions.
1. New York State school's health education program addresses this problem effectively? Why or why not? Consider data associated with the incidence of violence on either level.
2. New York State schools incorporate the CDC recommendations related to establishing policies about bullying, electronic aggression, teacher/staff training, discussions with students, creating a positive school atmosphere?
3. What is the plan if an incident does happen? is it effective? can it be improved?
4. How do strategies incorporate family engagement and community involvement?
