A School Shooting and Lockdown Training Activity Book Updated edition The perfect companion to Julia Cook's picture book, I'm Not Scared...I'm Prepared! Full of preparedness activities, discussion questions, and exercises to help children practice emergency scenarios, this activity book will enhance the ALICE concepts and make them applicable to children of all ages in a non-fearful way. By using this book, children can develop a better understanding of what needs to be done if they ever encounter a "dangerous someone." I applaud Julia and the ALICE Training Institute for providing education to our young students about potential school intruders through "I'm Not Scared...I'm Prepared!" While it is a scary subject, it s also a genuine threat, and students as well as staff deserve preparation. "I'm Not Scared...I'm Prepared!" helps students envision their reaction to an intruder prior to an incident. Because students are accustomed to the step-by-step ways schools normally function, it's important to show them that there is no singular response to these dynamic events. -Joey Melvin - Former School Resource Officer and Deputy Director of The Comprehensive School Safety Plan, Delaware Department of Safety and Homeland Security/Delaware Capitol Police Administrators/Educators, "I'm Not Scared…I'm Prepared!" is a brilliant, proactive way of educating children how to handle lockdown and evacuation situations. Julia has certainly created a dynamic tool for educators to talk to children in "kid terms" about what to do if there is an intruder in the building. The Sheep, The Shepherd and The Wolf Drill will empower communities nationwide to improve school safety. -Erin E. Bowden M.S. Professional School Counselor Julia Cook, M.S. is a national award-winning children's author, counselor, and parenting expert. She has presented in thousands of schools nationally and internationally, regularly speaks at education and counseling conferences, and has published children's books on a wide range of character and social development topics. The goal behind Cook's work is to actively involve young people in fun, memorable stories and teach them to become lifelong problem solvers. Inspiration for her books comes from working with children and carefully listening to counselors, parents, and teachers, in order to stay on top of needs in the classroom and at home. Cook has the innate ability to enter the worldview of a child through storybooks, giving children both the "what to say" and the "how to say it."
