Course detail: School Resource Officer in the Classroom
Course Description:
A good School Resource Officer focuses on the triad concept of school-based policing. The triad concept divides the SRO's responsibilities into educator, counselor, and law enforcement. While an SRO's primary responsibility is safety, the SRO should also serve as a teacher of law-related lessons as well as those lessons which promote a positive image of law enforcement for the youth in their community and abroad. This training is designed to impart the value of seizing teaching opportunities on a regular basis to share specialized knowledge and build relationships with the school community.
The purpose of this training is to develop a lesson plan which an SRO is comfortable teaching to audiences within their school community.
SRO in the Classroom is an 8-hour course. First, you will receive approximately 2 hours of instruction via lecture, PowerPoint and discussion. Next you will have 3-4 hours to complete a lesson plan and a presentation platform. Finally, all participants will have 20 minutes to present to their peers and receive feedback.
- If you are an experienced SRO in the classroom, consider bringing a new idea to training. You can spend the day developing a lesson plan and perfecting a presentation.
- If you are new to the role, bring a borrowed PowerPoint or lesson plan, or borrow one from our folder. Then, you can spend the day personalizing the topic for your needs.
Participants must bring a device on which they are comfortable typing, easy access to PowerPoint or slides and ability to save information to a flash drive. Participant should have a working knowledge of PowerPoint.
