Effective School Staff Interactions with Students and Police
A Training Model (ESSI)
Effective School Staff Interactions with Students and Police is a one-day, approximately 5 hour, training designed for delivery by one school staff trainer and one police officer trainer in a classroom setting (about 25 participants in a session). Trainers use a variety of instructional techniques including slide presentations, video clips, class discussions, small group activities, and individual activities. This creates an interactive environment that builds on participants’ existing knowledge and provides opportunities for them to share and learn from each other.
The goals of the training are to: Increase school staff knowledge of:
Increase school staff awareness of disproportionate minority contact (DMC) within the school disciplinary and juvenile justice systems. Improve school staff attitudes toward students exhibiting inappropriate behavior. Increase the likelihood that interactions between school staff and students will have positive outcomes for students and reduce involvement of police. Increase the likelihood that disruptive students will respond positively toward school staff. |
