While comprehensive emergency plans and advanced technology are undeniably crucial for school safety, true preparedness often hinges on mastering the “little things”—the subtle habits, consistent protocols, and seemingly minor details that can collectively make a monumental difference in a crisis. This unique training, a core message of Michael Peck’s keynotes, transforms overlooked daily actions into powerful layers of security.

What This Training Covers:

• Mindset Shift: Cultivating Proactive Vigilance: We guide participants in developing a constant awareness of their surroundings and the importance of every individual’s role in maintaining security, moving beyond reactive compliance.
• Observational Awareness & Reporting: Practical techniques for all staff members—from educators to support personnel—to notice subtle indicators (e.g., unusual behaviors, unsecured access points, suspicious activity) and channels for effective, discreet reporting.
• Consistent Communication Habits: Reinforcing the vital role of clear, concise, and consistent daily communication practices among staff, ensuring that emergency information flows efficiently when needed most.
• Protocol Routinization: Embedding essential safety behaviors (e.g., closing classroom doors, knowing rally points, verifying visitors) into daily routines until they become second nature, ensuring automatic, correct responses under stress.
• Technology Engagement & Maximization: Practical guidance on maximizing the effectiveness of existing safety technologies, including how to properly use and regularly engage with systems like Redbag for instant alerts, check-ins, and data capture, ensuring their full life-saving potential is realized. Redbag’s compliance with Alyssa’s Law highlights the necessity of correctly implementing these fundamental actions.
• Building a “Culture of Care”: Exploring how fostering strong, positive relationships among students and staff contributes to an environment where potential issues are reported early and support is readily available.
