Active Shooter Classroom Safety Tips
When it comes to classroom safety and active shooter preparedness, TeacherLock has you covered. Please read our active shooter classroom safety tips.
As incidents continue to surge, we understand the importance of providing comprehensive active shooter training in schools. We are living in a time when there is now at least one school shooting each month and gun safety is a hot topic of discussion. Active shooter incidents are typically spontaneous in nature, and most attacks occur in a target-rich environment. Your classroom’s setup makes a major difference. In most cases, teachers’ desks are close to a classroom’s entry, making them a primary target. Rearranging your classes to avoid this will help keep your teachers safe at a time when their leadership matters most.
Research has shown that the average school shooter is about 15 years old…
…and hardly ever has an escape plan. Most of the time, these shooters are severely mentally ill and in need of clinical help. It becomes obvious that the purpose of these attacks is to harm as many students and faculty members as possible.
Following these active shooter classroom safety tips will help to improve student safety immediately:
Teachers and staff should understand your school’s full layout
Keep teachers’ desks away from entryways
Figure out what can be used in addition to TeacherLock to barricade doors
Be hyperaware of your classrooms’ windows and exits
There is no doubt that, in the event of an active shooter, chaos and panic will set in.
When these classroom safety tips are applied, they minimize confusion and allow individuals to remain calm and lead in distressing moments. We have made it our goal to supply an active shooter door locking system we feel will revolutionize the way we secure classrooms. TeacherLock has an easy setup, significantly added security, and takes only three seconds to deploy. For more information, please contact our team today.
