Welcome to 3Shields School Safety Education
Our Mission and Philosophy
Our nation’s schools should be safe havens for teaching and learning. School violence not only affects the individuals involved but also may disrupt the educational process and affect bystanders, the school itself, and the surrounding community. School violence can result in such undesired events as suicide and homicide. On June 26,2020 the National Sheriffs’ Association, in recognizing the importance of addressing school violence, issued its amended School Safety Resolution including recommended best practices for school violence prevention. The Certified Safe Schools 3Shields School Safety Education Program trains your faculty and staff to implement these recommended best practices and thereby introduce sustainable school violence intervention.
School Safety Matrix
Successfully completing the 3Shields School Safety Education training program means that your school has implemented nationally recommended proactive measures to create and maintain a safe, productive, and healthy learning environment starting at the lowest intervention levels.
Utilizing a three-by-three school safety matrix (three protective shields applied at three assessment levels) this program facilitates replacing known gaps in your school safety with recommended best practices. Integrating these with your existing school security, this program trains your faculty and staff to remedy vulnerabilities below the threat assessment threshold by limiting physical security (response) dependency and introducing sustainable violence intervention.
