The 2007 legislature enacted new school

course will introduce the fundamental concepts of ICS and the roles of
positions in the incident command organizational structure, and provides
participants the necessary prerequisite knowledge for certification
testing. Practical advice on implementation of ICS in the school
setting will be provided, as well as clarification of the emergency
drill and planning requirements of SSB 5097. Participants will have the
opportunity to apply their knowledge of ICS in short simulation
exercises at the end of the class and receive reference materials
on ICS and school safety planning.”

take to assess and improve their buildings’ discipline system.

is a driver of building-wide discipline, the importance of the entire
staff maintaining an appropriate philosophy of building-wide discipline,
twelve prevention-based approaches to building-wide discipline, the five
indicators of an effective system of building-wide consequences, five
effective building-wide consequences, strategies for decreasing the
amount of office referrals and strategies for helping the three victims
of bullying are topics that will be covered. Video tapes of schools
employing many of the strategies as well as numerous discussions will be
incorporated into the workshop.

Keynote Presentations
 |
Presenter: David
Bianchini, 2008 AP of the Year, Granite
Falls Middle, Granite Falls SD
The door to meaningful school change lies within the culture of the
school itself. To open that door, you need the key: the ability to build
and foster relationships. Building administrators must “know their
stuff,” but to succeed, they also must recognize and respect the
importance of relationships. If staff, students and parents do not know
they are cared for, and if the administrators themselves do not care for
one another, the outcomes of powerful learning, responsible conduct and
mature behavior will remain an unattainable goal. Unlock the power of
relationships!
