Book excerpt: We are in an era where security measures have become commonplace in our schools--metal detectors, school safety officers, and even armed police in the hallways. However, despite all these precautions, many of our schools are still not considered safe. In this book, experts on school violence provide guidelines for incorporating the principles of social and emotional learning and character education into school safety and crisis-preparedness programs. They cover widespread concerns, ranging from bullying and social exclusion to gang-related violence, as well as major catastrophic events--like 9/11.
