New Resource on Preventing and Addressing Violent Behavior
NEA is pleased to announce that a new resource is now available at the NEA Health Information Network School Crisis Guide website to help educators prevent violent behavior.
Preventing and Addressing Violent Behavior: Taking Proactive Steps to School Safety focuses on making the working and learning environment safe and violence free for students and educators.
This guide offers effective classroom management strategies, describes evidence-based whole school approaches, provides guidance on what to do when an educator is assaulted and offers excellent resources to learn more about preventive strategies.
The guide is a collaborative project of the NEA and NEA HIN in consultation with the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) and the American Psychological Association (APA).
