TRAINING PROGRAMS  

Once the entire school safety plan has been developed, it is important to train the districts staff members. Unfortunately there are only a few in-service days a year and those in service days are typically needed to review educational issues. That is why PLE has developed a cadre of training aids. These aids consist of the following:

• Individual PowerPoint Presentations and other study material covering each of the protocols outlined in the crisis management plan.
• An optional on-line test for staff members to take after the self study material has been reviewed.
• On-line record keeping of your employees who have completed each training sessions and the date completed.
• The opportunity for staff members to ask a specific question on-line or through email to PLE’s experienced personnel. Questions are typically submitted through the principal’s office before being sent to PLE and the detailed responses are then returned to the principal’s office for distribution.
• PLE offers on-site or web based “Train the Trainer” training for select school employees who, once trained, can then train the remainder of the school staff. PLE makes available the entire library of training materials we have developed to the school’s trainers.

Having a well-thought out, well-developed plan is critical; however, making sure the people who have to utilize the plan in the event of a crisis is equally important. PLE can help ensure your staff members are well-trained on each of the critical protocols outlined in our crisis management plan.
