Learning Activity: School safety

Adjust font size:

(CNN Student News) -- Students will identify school-related safety concerns and learn about the safety measures that are in place at their school.

Procedure

Help students to brainstorm a list of concerns related to the safety of your school, such as bullying, intruders and natural disasters. Ask students: How do you think that

should respond to each of these safety concerns? Following the discussion, ask your school principal or counselor to speak to your class about the measures that are in place to address these concerns. After the presentation, facilitate a discussion between your students and the speaker about what your students can do to make their peers and parents aware of the safety measures that are in place at your school.
