This hands-on guide helps teachers understand the complexity and humanity behind school safety and security issues—and their role in promoting, using their professional knowledge and expertise, a safe school environment.

While other books teach security techniques (lockdowns and drills), this unique resource focuses on acknowledging a teacher's role at the forefront of maintaining safe schools, as they spend the most time with students throughout the day. The book offers comfort and resources to these teachers on the front lines, with comprehensive guidance on how to identify, advocate for, and collaborate on school safety issues. It also provides invaluable information on classroom management, responding to trauma, striving for more equitable outcomes, and finding and using other voices.

Each chapter is filled with reflection questions, tools, and "What would you do?" scenarios, making this the perfect resource to work on with a colleague or study group. With the practical advice in this book, you'll feel more prepared and confident to tackle difficult decisions on both a small and larger scale.
