The school safety expert team at Safe Havens works hard to offer many high quality free resources for schools.

We are pleased to announce yet another free school safety resource.  Safe Havens has released dozens of new free school safety training video podcasts and two free research papers in recent months.  Today, we are releasing a new free web delivered presentation we recorded for the Illinois Principal’s Association.  The course is titled – Using the Positive Body Language of Schools to Create Dignity, Honor and Respect in Schools and has a run time of 22 minutes. 

The course is part of the Education Leaders Network.  Click here if you would like to join this network  which offers courses on many topics of interest to educators by many experts in different disciplines.

This presentation covers the powerful concept of territoriality, one of the primary areas of crime prevention through environmental design for school.   We are working on a number of additional free school safety resources and will post each release.  We hope you find this course to be of benefit.

Training at the Speed of Life by Kenneth R. Murray – an Excellent Book for those who are Interested in Understanding how to Train People for Life and Death Decision-Making

November 10, 2012 by

Lt. Col. Dave Grossman was kind enough to send me a copy of Kenneth R. Murray’s excellent book on law enforcement and military training concepts.   Though the book is obviously focused on this type of audience, I feel that school emergency preparedness practitioners and experts can benefit from the concepts that are so thoughtfully articulate by the author. 

Training at the Speed of Life is a superb book for those who want to better understand how to prepare people for crisis decision making.
