Safety Education Curriculum.
Lowry, Carlee S.
The safety education program for Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) schools was prepared as a simplified guide for teachers to use in grades 1-12. Safety programs in schools should develop knowledge, habits, and attitudes in order to eliminate, as far as possible, the dangers of accidental death or injury to children. It should inform these future adults of their responsibilities for providing safe and efficient school plant and transportation facilities, including adequate instruction and a medical examination for school bus drivers. Safety is usually considered an area of health instruction and should receive emphasis in relation to the students' and the community's needs. In this curriculum guide, students are divided by grade into 5 categories (i.e., grades 1-3; grades 4-6). Desired outcomes in terms of knowledge, attitudes and practices, suggested experiences and activities, and evaluations are given for each. For grades 10-12, suggestions are made for including safety instruction in subject areas such as home economics, agriculture, and science. First aid practices that every student should know are explained for both elementary and high school students. The document also includes references, sources for free safety materials, and a source and availability index for filmstrips. (KM)
