New Workshop on Classroom Emergency Preparedness

The Office of Emergency Management and the Teaching and Learning Center have partnered together to form a new workshop on Classroom Emergency Preparedness! 

This training is for anyone who is responsible for managing a classroom and provides practical tools for handling the kinds of emergency situations that are most likely to arise in a classroom setting.

In this program, participants will learn how to care for themselves and others using easy-to-remember strategies for preparing and responding to natural disasters, behavioral disruptions, common medical emergencies, and active shooter scenarios. The workshop is designed to build confidence in participants’ capacity to plan for and respond to unanticipated events. 

The Office of Emergency Management and the Teaching and Learning Center anticipate that this training will be widely available in Fall Quarter 2024, but want to offer it now as a pilot in response to strong demand from the campus community. They will be seeking feedback and input from workshop participants. 

They are offering four different times to attend this training (two online and two in-person). As the training includes difficult content, including a video with depictions of an active shooter scenario, we encourage all who are able to try to attend one of the in-person offerings. Of course, if you prefer a zoom option, they have made that available. There will not be a hybrid option at this time. 

The workshop will be offered at the following times and modalities:

  • Tuesday, October 22, 10-11am (Online)

  • Tuesday, October 22, 2-3pm (In-person)

  • Thursday, October 24, 10-11am (In-person)

  • Thursday, October 24, 3-4pm (Online)

Please complete this brief registration form. It is important that you indicate the session that you will attend so that we can be sure to secure a room that is large enough to accommodate all attendees.
