This professional learning event is designed for school and district leaders who are committed to creating safe, inclusive, and academically supportive environments. The session will focus on practical strategies and leadership practices that align with Tennessee Instructional Leadership Standards (TILS), particularly Standard B: Culture for Teaching and Learning. Participants will explore how to collaborate with stakeholders to sustain a respectful and secure school culture conducive to learning and growth.
Each of the videos available during this training will help the attendees gain knowledge from their peers, people who are doing this work every day. This is an 8-hour asynchronous event that ends with assessments and feedback on or before June 4, 2026. This event is for the new to the role leader and the seasoned leader who wants to be more confident in the safety planning process. These videos were selected to allow the learner time to work with a problem of practice either alone or with your team in an asynchronous format.
Through a combination of expert-led presentations, small group discussions, and collaborative planning, administrators will gain actionable insights into topics such as Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), transportation and facility safety, and proactive approaches to prevent crisis situations. Homeland Security guidelines, threat assessment protocols, and emergency planning will also be addressed to ensure leaders are equipped to respond effectively to evolving safety challenges.
This event is part of an ongoing series aligned with the Tennessee Department of Education’s Best for ALL strategic plan, emphasizing student well-being, character development, and strong school-community partnerships. By the end of the session, participants will leave with a renewed sense of urgency and ownership, ready to update and implement comprehensive safety plans that enhance both actual and perceived safety for students and staff. When schools feel safe, academic performance and engagement thrive—this training ensures leaders have the tools to make that happen.
Each attendee will complete an assessment to share their insights from the 8 hours of video they watched on this topic.
