In this session, school administrators will hear about: (1) what steps a school should take to help ensure appropriate and healthy interactions between employees and students; (2) what policies and training programs the school should have in this area; and (3) what steps a school should take to respond to situations of this nature as they arise. Part II:  Employee Codes of Conduct:  Implementation and Enforcement Best PracticesRecent media attention has focused a spotlight on the critical importance of ensuring that all employees, teachers, administrators, and staff maintain healthy relationships with students. This session will address how a Code of Conduct can be used as an effective means to communicate the behavioral expectations and prohibitions relating more to adult conduct with students and how to respond to violations of the code as they arise. Part III:  Ten Steps to Effective Crisis ResponseIt can happen at any time. You find out that a student is selling illegal drugs to other students on campus, that a student has been hazed or assaulted by other students, or that a school employee is rumored to be having an inappropriate sexual relationship with one of your students. How you respond to a situation involving the safety and well-being of your students is critical to both those involved in the situation and the operation and long-term reputation of your school. A poorly handled situation can lead to significant distraction and harm to all those involved. A well-handled response allows the school and individuals to focus on the issues at hand as well as the health and well-being of all those involved. In short, thoughtful action at the time of the incident provides the opportunity to reinforce your values with all constituencies, and the freedom and ability to look forward rather than backward. This session will address ten steps to effective crisis response to help guide you to respond to situations as they arise.
