This handbook provides material designed to aid school administrators and classroom teachers in providing a safe environment for their elementary school children and incorporating safety education into regular classroom and school activities. Chapter 1 outlines the basic fundamentals in planning elementary school programs; defines the function of a school safety program; suggests problem safety areas in the home, school, and community that involve children; and lists various cooperative community agencies and organizations. Chapter 2 provides an outline of the responsibilities of the school administrator, classroom teacher, and school support personnel in promoting school safety. Chapters 3 and 4 offer materials designed to help the teacher develop curricula. These include activities which incorporate safety education during outdoor seasonal activities, special occasions, and regular classroom studies; summary charts suggesting objectives for each grade level (K-6); experience-based discussion topics appropriate for kindergarten through fifth grade children; and safety checklists. A bibliography of resource materials is divided according to format (pamphlet, book, film, etc.). (ED)
