Preventing School Violence Readiness Series
The Center for Safe Schools’ Preventing School Violence Readiness Series is a three-part online course that provides schools with a framework to assess school safety needs. This series helps educators examine existing systems within their schools that support successful implementation of comprehensive school climate improvement programs and approaches, including the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program. Modules contain online presentations (PowerPoint slides with audio narrative) assessment tools, study guides, course evaluations and other supportive resource materials.
The PA CARES application process requires that an administrator or other member of the school’s bullying prevention coordinating committee complete the online “Preventing School Violence Readiness Series” and submit a completed copy of the “user report” as verification of completion of the series. To access the online Readiness Series, the staff person must create an individual account with contact information (first name, last name, email address, title/position) at: http://fm.center-school.org/moodle/.
Funding for this readiness series is provided by the Highmark Foundation through its Healthy High 5 Initiative.
