This full color, laminated, 11”x17” classroom poster comes with a concise lesson plan that includes methods to teach simple movement and emergency hand signals. On this poster are eighteen simple standardized hand signals, that when posted, learned and practiced, enhance teacher / staff / student or student leader communication under many types of common and emergency situations including: assemblies, field trips, group activities, fire drills, natural disasters, school disturbances or other emergencies.
Included are the "Help me!" and "I have been kidnapped!" hand signals that all teachers, staff, students, school resource officers and other public safety personnel should know that can save a life.
"18 Silent Universal Signals for School Safety,” must be an essential ingredient of the safety and security plan for every school in America. This poster should be in every classroom and public safety building in the country."
