Student Supervision Assessments

Student supervision assessments can often improve the level of school safety far more quickly than thousands and even millions of dollars in security cameras for schools and school districts. Student supervision can help reduce the risks of most student risks ranging from teasing to terrorism. The student supervision assessment is one of the most cost effective ways to improve the level of safety and security in K12 schools.

The assessment, first pioneered by Safe Havens, is designed to help identify gaps in supervision that, if not addressed, can result in increased bullying, vandalism, violence, accidents and a wide range of other safety incidents. In our extensive work with many of the nation’s largest insurers of K12 schools, it has been reported that the majority of lawsuits filed against school officials and organizations relating to student safety incidents involve allegations of poor student supervision.

Developed at the request of school superintendents, heads of independent schools and other school officials, the student supervision assessment is designed to provide practical and proven action steps adapted to fit your organization. This approach can provide a far greater increase in school security than many massive security camera installations while also dramatically improving school climate and the positive connection between staff and students.  When combined with technology solutions such as security cameras, student supervision measures are even more effective.

During the assessments, Safe Havens analysts will interview school administrators, school staff, students and parents, use survey instruments to conduct physical observations during site visits to see how staff practices, policies and customs are utilized to maximize student supervision. Safe Havens also evaluates the efforts by the client to train staff and to document their efforts to obtain consistency and to increase court defensibility. Safe Havens applies proven concepts that can be adapted to any school to fit the unique physical design as well as robust programs of today’s public, private, charter and independent schools.

The student supervision assessment can be complimented with our Student Supervision Instructor Training Program for further enhanced sustainability. The first organization to provide training on student supervision at the national let alone international level, Safe Havens is a leader in the field of student supervision.
