Creating Safe, Healthy, and Inclusive Schools

Challenges and Solutions

De: Christopher C. Morphew, Vanya C. Jones, Ashley Cureton

Narrado por: Peter Lerman

School safety has become a critical topic of concern in educational contexts. In this book, editors Christopher C. Morphew, Vanya C. Jones, and Ashley Cureton bring together a timely collection of essays to outline the obstacles to and most promising approaches for creating safe, healthy, and inclusive schools for all children. Challenging the current national discourse around school safety as a form of violence prevention, contributors broaden our view of safe schools to include places that are accessible and equitable for all youth, particularly those from historically marginalized communities.

A broad range of interdisciplinary scholars apply their expertise to discuss evidence-based practices, programs, tools, and policies integral to developing safe and healthy school environments. Contributors cover topics such as suicide prevention, trauma-sensitive schools, bullying and cyberbullying, social media and technology, mental health promotion, family and community engagement, and school security.

Creating Safe, Healthy, and Inclusive Schools is tailored to school leaders, teachers, policymakers, safety officers, and researchers who are invested in making schools safe and inclusive places.

The book is published by Johns Hopkins University Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.
