Quick fix??

What online program do you use for your online BBP training? Trying to round up everyone on my campus is like rounding up cows at a rodeo! The online program sounds like it might be more user friendly.

The teachers most likely don't realize how many student visits you have. What about letting them know through your principal that you see "x" number of students in an average week and "y" number of those visits were for magic ice packs? Our state DPI asks for statistics annually including number of student visits, number sent home and number returned to class. The totals are staggering. It's interesting, though, to see how different buildings have very varied numbers. It's a building culture thing, coming down from the principal. I'm sure others will also suggest that you provide the teachers with a small supply of band-aids, etc, so that they can handle minor issues without sending students down.

On the other note, our district uses "Safe School" for on-line training, including BBP and sexual harrassment. I don't have anything to do with it, a secretary in the district office sends out the instructions and keeps track of who has completed and who hasn't. I do put out an unofficial offer, though, to complete anyone's BBP with 100% on the post-test for $5. (just kidding!)

i also am interested in the online trainng. where is this available? thx for info :)

I gave the name incorrectly--its "SafeSchools"

lol i sometimes ask the older kids if they think they can do into the corporate health nurse's office at a business like Pfizer and lie down because of a tummy ache. Most of them think so.

"Are we raising an entire generation of kids who in the future are going to call in sick to work because thay have chapped lips or a hangnail?"

I am with you. Teach appropriate self care.

I cannot find it on Gerri Harvey's site, but she suggests doing a bar graph of the frequency of health office visits per teacher. Code the teachers names, but give each teacher their code, with the graph of the entire school or entire grade.

When they see they are sending triple the number of students to the nurse, sometimes that is enough......
