S4 - Constable Rich Valstar (our school resource officer)
Start Smart Stay Safe is a proactive, strengths-based model of teaching and learning where police, families and schools partner together to actively build positive relationships, create safe communities and prepare children for the challenges of our complex, changing world. It is a collaborative initiative between the Calgary Police Service and the Calgary Board of Education.
Start Smart Stay Safe brings police officers in the classroom to work with the teachers and engage the students in strengths-based lessons. Police encourage students to use their strengths and to continue to develop their skills to keep themselves and their communities safe. Lessons shared by police officers, teachers and families help children build strengths in the following areas:
- Using problem solving skills
- Making healthy choices
- Using respectful communication skills
- Building healthy relationships
- Being digitally safe
- Being safe at home, at school and in the community
- Serving others to build an inclusive, resilient community
For more information regarding S4 please go to www.startsmartstaysafe.ca. Also, there is a good video about Strengths-Based inserted below. Feel free to take a look!
The particular lesson that Constable Valstar will be teaching to the class is called Emotions Scale. If you have any questions or concerns about the lesson please don't hesitate to contact me at my school email address.
Bye for now,
Ms. LeVesconte
