Training to Increase School Safety
Grant
Overview
abstract
-
According to the Report to the North Carolina General Assembly (Department of Public Instruction, 2018), WCS was among the five LEAs that reported the largest three-year increase in grade 9-13 reportable crimes in 2016-17 (the most recent figures), and among the five LEAs that reported the largest increase in high school dropout rates over the same three-year time. We plan to use funding from the Training to Increase School Safety grant program to implement an evidence-based, evidence-informed approach to professional development specifically developed for teachers in rural places known by the acronym TREE. Transforming Rural Education Experience (TREE) was developed by researchers in Maine and piloted in a rural elementary school in spring 2018. Our aim is to enable teachers in WCS to even better prepared to help their students develop healthy responses to trauma and stress.
