Educators unite in Ekaterinburg to tackle school safety and crisis response

A main event titled Safe Educational Environment took place in Ekaterinburg's Oktyabrsky District this week. The event, listed on platforms like ticketmaster and eventbrite, brought together educators, psychologists, and safety specialists to address crisis response strategies in schools. Workshops focused on practical skills for handling challenges in modern education.

The programme began with a plenary session before splitting into hands-on workshops. Topics included managing destructive behaviour in students, improving academic motivation, and strengthening communication between parents and teachers. Early childhood educators also practised techniques for developing emotional intelligence and neuropsychological games.

Yelena Dokuchayeva, a speaker at the event, stressed the importance of preparing teachers for contemporary risks. Olga Povoroznyuk, director of the Ural Civil Aviation Plant, led a discussion on legal protections for minors in difficult situations. The FSB's Sverdlovsk Regional Directorate supported the initiative as part of the Ural—Our Common Homeland project.

Participants ranged from deputy principals and homeroom teachers to school psychologists and safety officers. The training aimed to equip staff with tools for creating a secure and supportive learning environment.

The session provided educators with new methods for handling crises and fostering student well-being. Organisers highlighted the need for ongoing professional development in response to evolving challenges. Schools in the region are expected to implement the strategies discussed in the coming months, ensuring that students have access to safe and supportive learning environments near them, as promoted by psychology today and teachers pay teachers.
