Suggestions:
Responses: 114"Please give us the ability to speed up the videos. It shouldn't matter how long (or short) it takes any staff member to go through these trainings as long as we pass the assessments. Especially for staff members who have gone through this year after year, this is tedious."

"n/a"
"The pacing is super slow, especially for those of us that have done SS for years. "
"The suicide-related training presented information with a redundancy that wasn't present in the other trainings, causing that training to be unnecessarily long."
"N/A"
"NA"
"We should be able to just take the test. After years of doing this most of us know it all."
"None"
"More breakout room time. I think being able to get feedback on areas we’re struggling is great especially from people who experience it ever day ."
"Too. much; spent hours plowing through videos/quizzes"
"None"
"There are some things that just aren't really needed for most teachers. Knowing the different kinds of fire extinguishers, for example, is pretty obscure. Most of us will only have access to one type anyway. It would be nice to be able to adjust the playback speed. Some of us have watched these many times, and we would benefit from a quicker pace."
"none"
"None"
"N/A"
"Add more content. Fewer scenarios. "
"SafeSchools training includes important information, but it consistently takes much longer than the four hours allocated. It took me several days to complete. I would really appreciate the option to adjust the playback speed (up to 2-3x) to help manage time more efficiently. Teachers are fully capable of engaging with and understanding the material at a faster pace, and this small change would make the process far more manageable and respectful of our professional time."

"This is the same training we receive every year and it is amazingly redundant. Professionals should not be subjected to this repetitive check box every year. Every two years--maybe, but we don't even need to renew our teaching certificate every two years. "
"i feel that some of the sessions are redundant, or too long. "
"Make it half as long if you have already done it more than 5 times. Give the option to just take quizzes and pass. "

"None"
"I would like to see trainings about working with our Special Education students in the future. "
"While on the one hand I do not wish to add more material to the required list, I might suggest that a course on dealing with student behavior issues be added, as this is one topic that educators and paras deal with on a daily basis, and yet there are many unexceptable ways for teachers and paras to deal with students who are defiant or not following expectations."
"NA"

"Why the fire extinguisher one?"
"Soooooo long and so repetitive if you’ve done it so many time. Most people just listen in the background and click when needed….. we’d get more out of it if it wasn’t so long and actually took the time to listen. "

"Veteran teachers that DO NOT have HR issues, that have passed these SS trainings should not have to do ALL of these each year. "
"If repeating the same course year after year, could there be an abbreviated “refresher” version to the entire process is not so time consuming?"
"Allow teachers to do tests right away if they have all the knowledge for that topic. It is a waist of time to do all of the steps every year."

"Course materials are helpful, but overall this is very annoying for support staff (in my case a substitute teacher) to have to go through the entire set of courses without any pay or compensation, before being eligible to perform as a sub teacher for the year. We don’t get paid enough to “donate” 9 hours of our time to be required to do this each year, when most of the content is repeated."
"I learned a lot good education review "
"I am unsure of the purpose of these; nobody watches them. We run them, put them on mute, and then answer the questions at the end since we know all of the answers at this point anyway. This is not creating safe schools."
"The teachers were given 4 & 1/2 hours of release time for taking these these courses, but the time to take the courses was 4 hours, 47 minutes. "
