This book, Managing Critical Seconds Before a School Crisis will recommend that we strictly enforce security and directions in every phase at the high school level and elementary level. Building a safe learning environment for our students is a top priority! Many challenges still exist and will continue to exist during this violent era in public education in America. We as parents, community leaders, educators, and first responders will face this dilemma together and develop a security system that will allow peace and harmony during time students are on campuses in our public schools. The purpose of this book is to share my views on keys to building an effective campus security system. As director of safe and secure schools for a large urban public school district for 11 years, I had the opportunity to research school security standards, attend safety staff development, seminars, observe "best practices" in surrounding school districts, develop, and implement a school district crisis management plan. We know as educators to put in place the best safety plan for our students and teachers. My book will summarize key components of building an effective campus security system. Managing Critical Seconds Before a School Crisis is designed to raise the hope and dreams of all high school and elementary school students who need to believe that accepting a challenge to be the best is only possible when hard work is applied correctly and in a timely manner. This book will recommend that we strictly enforce security and directions in every phase of school safety. The average elementary and junior high reader will have the opportunity to read this book and understand the path of a safe and secure learning environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The position and role of the business school and its educational programmes have become increasingly prominent, yet also questioned and contested. What management education entails, and how it is enacted, has become a matter of profound concern in the field of higher education and, more generally, for the development of the organized world. Drawing upon the humanities and social sciences, The Routledge Companion to Reinventing Management Education imagines a different and better education offered to students of management, entrepreneurship and organization studies. It is an intervention into the debates on what is taught and how learning takes place, demonstrating both the potential and the limits of what the humanities and social sciences can do for management education. Divided into six sections, the book traces the history and theory of management education, reimagining central educational principles and outlining an emerging practice-based approach. With an international cast of authors, The Routledge Companion to Reinventing Management Education has been written for contemporary and future educators and for students and scholars who seek to make a difference through their practice.
