Security
With the shottings that has happened in the past few years at college campus it is so important for students to feel safe. I feel that as much as college cost there should be security in place on every college campus..
Joe,
This is so essential as well as reassuring to the students as well as staff.

i agree with this statement! Our Campus has done a super job training us, if somthing terrible would happen.
Katherine,
Such important part of the educational process. Respect and rapport are both needed in connecting with students and providing them with support when needed.

On a smaller scale, part of the very beginning set up for our program is an understanding that they will be treating each other with respect, and honoring any private information or personal experiences that are shared during class, as if it were part of a private session.
This initial agreement helps the students to relax and be openly honest in class, as well as training them to monitor what details about 'clients' they need to keep confidential in other settings.
Charlene,
I agree. By feeling secure students can focus on why they are there and that is to learn and prepare for their future. They should not have to worry about their safety before and after, even during class.

I feel that security is very important for all of us! Our campus has done a very good job and has taken the time to train us all for emergencies.....we can never be too prepared!
Sonya,
Good point and something we need to remember as we approach our classes. Our students need to see us as confident learning leaders.
