Dad, retired Police Officer, current business owner, Director of Safety/Security at Troy CCSD 30. Working hard to keep kids safe online and in the classroom!
With some parents using tablets as digital pacifiers to soothe their children, a new study finds preschoolers who spend 75 minutes or more in front of a screen showed increased anger and frustration as they got older, along with difficulties in regulating their emotions.
@Lz95Stevens Good to hear. So true and so important! We are partnering with Safer Schools Together to implement digital threat assessment in our district this year. Parents NEED to know how to keep their kids safe online, and schools need to WORK TOGETHER with parents to achieve this!
Happy to have contributed to “Advancing School Safety Through Collaborative Efforts”, an article in the recent edition of Update Magazine published by @iasbo. Thanks to Marti Neahring @sd129 who co-wrote the article and shared her knowledge and expertise.
Making my fourth visit @ButlerSD53 this year to talk with students about Digital Citizenship. Happy to have this partnership, and glad the administration and parents here make online safety a priority for their students! #KEEPKIDSSAFE
Happy to make a return visit to CHMS and educate 6th graders about Cyberbullying and Digital Citizenship today! Parents ask yourselves if your child is ready for social media BEFORE you give them cell phones. Have the tough conversations. @CCSD181 #KEEPKIDSSAFE
Crisis averted thanks to kids reporting it. Leakage happens! So important to have a See Something, Say Something mindset. Good job to these students, and excellent work by law enforcement to prevent a tragedy
Had a great time presenting in the Carousel of Panels at #ILjac23 with my @troyccsd30c team! Also connected with some great school safety leaders like @schoolsecurity@Lz95Stevens. Always be ready to learn and as Paul Timm said “be willing to be an adopter”. Share good ideas!
@ILschoolboards My group from @troyccsd30c was proud to present “A Layered Approach to School Safety and Security” as part of the Carousel of Panels, and we enjoyed the format very much! Thank you for the opportunity, and for hosting a great conference at #ILjac23
Happy to be attending #ILjac23 again this year, and excited to be presenting “A Layered Approach to School Safety/Security” at the Carousel of Panels with my team from @troyccsd30c@iasbo@ILschoolboards#IllinoisASA
