Reflection
I feel very confident in some of the strands of safety and security such as crisis notification, handbooks, and crisis management. During COVID, we really had to make sure students and staff were safe and to take social distancing measures seriously. While this took a lot of time, it was a good experience to see how changes to safety need to be made on an ongoing basis. Additionally, I have been on our crisis committee that created a DGF Crisis Manual which is a step by step document for emergency situations. In an interview with a principal, we discussed crisis management. The things I found most important from that interview is the need to assess the information given to you and if there is still a crisis occurring or if it has passed. Next, the most important task is to make sure staff and students are safe and to take immediate action to ensure that continues. Some strands I am not as confident in this competency is school buses and buildings that are vulnerable. Safety and Security is a strength for me.
