How does this course differ from other school safety programs?
This course was designed by educators for educators and was peer-reviewed by experts at the Center for Safe and Healthy Schools and the Johns Hopkins University School of Education.  Many courses and programs that promote similar learning outcomes take a fairly siloed approach to each aspect of school safety instead of a holistic approach that utilizes expertise from multiple areas. The Center for Safe and Healthy Schools brings together top Johns Hopkins faculty from education, public health, engineering, arts and sciences, nursing, and medicine to create evidence-based practices, programs, tools, and policies integral to safe and healthy school environments.  This program enables teachers, leaders, and communities to ensure everyone in their school feels safe, secure, and can respond effectively to situations such as addressing mental health challenges, violence, and bullying at school using evidence-based best practices.
