The Perils of Educating: A National Sample of School Personnel Perceptions of School Violence

Thu, April 24, 1:45 to 3:15pm MDT (1:45 to 3:15pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 107

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session features five presentations that provide insight into how school social workers, school psychologists, paraprofessionals, and teachers experience school safety and violence. Presentations analyze subsets of data from a nationally representative survey of over 12,000 respondents across all 50 states. The survey was conducted by the American Psychological Association Task Force on Violence against Educators and School Personnel during the 2021-2022 school year. This session paints a broad picture of the scope of school violence in unique contexts, informing how interventions can be better developed to support student and staff thriving. Presentations call for data-driven recommendations from a broad range of school personnel to better protect students and staff from violence, and make schools healthier places for all.
