How the Safe Child Program Works
The Safe Child Program is conducted in three phases on a
yearly basis.
PHASE 1 - PROFESSIONAL TRAINING
Teacher and/or counselor training includes:
- introduction to the Program;
- overview of the problems of child abuse;
- dynamics of child abuse;
- specific techniques for teaching classroom program;
- recognizing and reporting abuse; and
- implementation information.
- The Implementation Guide and Resource Manual
provide materials, information and training techniques to
effectively address the questions and concerns of teachers,
counselors and others as they prepare to implement the
Program.
PHASE 2 - PARENT SEMINAR
Information provided to parents includes:
- introduction to the Program;
- overview of the problems of child abuse;
- specific techniques taught to their children;
- recognizing and reporting abuse; and
- treatment and resources for help.
The Implementation Guide and Resource Manual provide
outlines and background materials for the parent seminar. The
Teacher/Parent Videotape is provided to illustrate for parents
the concepts and children's training at both the preschool and K-3
level.
PHASE 3 - CHILDREN'S PROGRAM
Each day's lesson begins with a videotape. The classroom
children, learn from the children in the videotape, the new
concepts for the day.
The accompanying Teacher's Manual provides a script for the
teacher including role-play, discussion, classroom activities and
take-home materials. This follows the videotape each day of the
Program.
Role-playing is used by the classroom teacher to turn the concepts
into skills for each child. As the children practice the techniques,
they develop mastery. This is important. Without the
role-play, the prevention concepts remain just that --
concepts. The real key to the Program is that the videotape
presentation merges with the role-play and classroom
activities, which enables the children to master the skills --
to learn them "in their muscles."
Over a ten day period in preschool and kindergarten and over five
days each in grades one, two and three the children are
sequentially and developmentally introduced to a range of
prevention tools and life skills which enable them to use the
prevention techniques.
| "...this program teaches children, among other things, to
think for themselves, speak-up for themselves, communicate
effectively, and know when to ask for help." Deborah Daro,
Ph.D., Director, National Center on Child Abuse
Prevention Research, Review appearing in Child Abuse and
Neglect: The International Journal, 16:1 |
