Multidisciplinary Teams: The Foundation for Physical, Social & Emotional Safety
School safety is constantly evolving, and our beliefs about what keeps staff and students safe are shaped by a variety of contributing factors.
Today's definition of safety is incredibly complex and encompasses an individual's physical, social and emotional needs. To address all three areas, schools must take a multidisciplinary approach that includes a variety of perspectives working cross-functionally to achieve the same goals.
Join Joe McKenna, senior research associate with WestEd's Justice & Prevention Research Center, to learn how the perception of school safety has changed over time. You'll also learn how to implement actionable next steps inspired by the work Ruby Moseley is leading at Comal ISD, a district covering 589 square miles and 34 campuses and serving 26,000 students around New Braunfels, Texas.
Key Takeaways:
Understand the current state of school safety as it relates to individuals' physical, social and emotional needs.
Learn how multidisciplinary teams are a vital part of addressing these needs and what processes and resources are needed to help them succeed.
