A1 We use the ALICE protocol. #scitlap

SueAtSea Sep 21 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1 Grab “The Binder.” Account for all kids in designated location. #scitlap

BroCstart Sep 21 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1 #scitlap what sort of emergency?

pentaclethra Sep 21 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1) Depends on the emergency doesn't it? In NY we are required to do 8 fire drills and 4 lockdowns. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:07 PM EDT

We had our first lockdown drill this week. Already have practiced tornado too #scitlap

smarterteacher Sep 21 @ 9:07 PM EDT

a.1 FIre, Earthquake (CA), Lockdown or Science Room Specific? #scitlap

pentaclethra Sep 21 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis High winds drills are suggested, but not required for us. #scitlap

PErachelbell Sep 21 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@Partain_Science school! When I made these questions I had active shooter in mind. Since unfortunately that is common now. #scitlap

AliceCB32 Sep 21 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1 We're on a college campus so our procedures are different. The only thing we practice is fired drills. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1. Alert - Lockdown - Inform - Counter - Evacuate. I like having it, lots of options #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@smarterteacher EARTHQUAKE! Wow... #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1: We have lockdown drills, some bad weather drills & monthly fire drills. #scitlap

KathleenDiver Sep 21 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Hey #scitlap I finally figured out when you guys are together and could attend today!

HowardKiyuna Sep 21 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Single phrase signals lockdown. Door stops. GroupMe App to parents. Practice clearing yard 1 time later in yr. deleting in 3 secs #scitlap

KathleenDiver Sep 21 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Kathy Checking in from Southern California (inland Empire) I teach 9th graders - honors biology. #scitlap

smarterteacher Sep 21 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Lockdown, All kids on the floor away from doors and windows, T locks doors and covers door windows. Remain quiet until all clear. #scitlap

BroCstart Sep 21 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1 #scitlap we don't have much of a drill that way, except lock door, get away from door and Windows, trust gut

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@pentaclethra Never heard of that one either... #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:11 PM EDT

We haven't practiced for tornadoes, not common...but we had a big one few yrs ago. Traumatic for Ss and families in our district. #scitlap

pentaclethra Sep 21 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Do any of you use your prep room to hide Ss in a lockdown? #scitlap

PErachelbell Sep 21 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Please forgive me if I am not too interactive tonight! Busy life of the college senior... drowning in lesson plans #scitlap

BroCstart Sep 21 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@pentaclethra hahah! prep room! You mean my extra table in the corner of the room? #scitlap ;-)

BroCstart Sep 21 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@PErachelbell Enjoy lesson planning! Its one of my fave hobbies! #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Sep 21 @ 9:12 PM EDT

Good evening, all! James from @wcsdistrict in Ohio. Middle grades science. Looking forward to listening and learning! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@pentaclethra In a drill we practice in the rm but if something were actually going down, I'd go in the prep rm. It would be safer. #scitlap

KathleenDiver Sep 21 @ 9:13 PM EDT

We had a "soft" lockdown today due to an incident at a nearby school site- no one could enter or leave our campus for the duration #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2) Each school has protocol to follow in various scenarios. In the handbook! #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2 So, the usual safety rules, goggles, no eating or drinking, follow directions, good lab procedures. #scitlap

BroCstart Sep 21 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@Mr_Canterbury AACK! I missed #sciedchat !! week has been crazy. #scitlap

pentaclethra Sep 21 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2 I have a bunch of emergency stuff I go over in class, repeatedly. Teach the expectations and practice. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Interesting to hear different weather protocols around the country. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:14 PM EDT

I got evacuated from a campus my 2nd yr of teaching.... #scitlap

BroCstart Sep 21 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@Partain_Science Me too, construction workers across street at college hit a gas line (and didn't tell anyone!) #scitlap

PErachelbell Sep 21 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@Partain_Science how come? #scitlap

sbosch_spps Sep 21 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: District has science safety contracts. Need parent signature. I go over, kids draw pic for each rule. #scitlap

BroCstart Sep 21 @ 9:17 PM EDT

a3 #scitlap Remind ss that Ts are looking out for them, only share necessary details, stay CALM (even if inside is anything but)

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A3 All kids need sensitivity for this. You don't know exposure levels, personal trauma, etc. I like honesty, but calm. #scitlap

sbosch_spps Sep 21 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A3: I plan a day in lesson plans to review emergency procedures. We do a practice fire drill and lock down #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@PErachelbell Ours was a chem spill nearby. Evacuated a MS & an ES. About 15 min before school was out! Took hrs to get Ss home #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Sep 21 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@BroCstart It was a great topic - not well attended. I could host it again for the #scitlap folks one week if you want a break from mod-ing?

PErachelbell Sep 21 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Also, since I'm still in school none of the questions are applicable to me. However, this topic is always on my mind! #scitlap

BroCstart Sep 21 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis Did you see this? Would be a great topic for #scitlap https://t.co/tnrxurgyVA

Mr_Canterbury Sep 21 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@BroCstart It was a great topic - not well attended. I could host it again for the #scitlap folks one week if you want a break from mod-ing?

Partain_Science - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@Mr_Canterbury @BroCstart Talk to @SciTeach7Davis she keeps the mod calendar & I am sure could add you in! #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A3) I teach 7th gr, so I really talk up the whole point of practicing, building muscle memory. Respectful, logical, & they get it. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:20 PM EDT

I tell kids everything we have available...protocols, how to use intercom, use a fire extinguisher, dial 911 or internal emergency #scitlap

sbosch_spps Sep 21 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A3: For lock down I say it's like hide and seek. I say it's adults being exta careful. Like wearing sunblock and longsleeves. #scitlap

PErachelbell Sep 21 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@sbosch_spps I like this idea! #scitlap

KathleenDiver Sep 21 @ 9:21 PM EDT

We had a brush wildfire come right up to our fields. We evacuated school very quickly. Good Practice and protocols helped #scitlap

BroCstart Sep 21 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@KathleenDiver Yikes! School building ok? #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Sep 21 @ 9:22 PM EDT

We had a gas leak in one of our physical plant buildings. Had to evacuate our building to our rally point. No injuries but crazy AM #scitlap

PErachelbell Sep 21 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Question 4: #scitlap https://t.co/soFbvQlG6p

BroCstart Sep 21 @ 9:23 PM EDT

a4 #scitlap Stay calm, alert to what is going on, if something seems wrong, it probably is-- trust your instincts.

Mr_Canterbury Sep 21 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A4: Being proactive is always appreciated. Look for slips, trips, or falls hazards. Stay calm - pretend if you have to. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@PErachelbell Check those ID badges! Ask when you see an adult without one. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A4 Being aware, asking questions, practicing, have a suggestion -say it, work with police and fire OFTEN. #scitlap

PErachelbell Sep 21 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@Partain_Science yes! It scary sometimes when I go into a school and they don't need me to sign in 😳 #scitlap

KathleenDiver Sep 21 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A4-I always tell Ss that serious practice lets us do things as a habit. And that THEY might be the calm ones in an urgent situation #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@PErachelbell All visitors to our campus have to wear a photo ID when they arrive... parents, teachers, superintendent. #scitlap

AliceCB32 Sep 21 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4 Always be aware of your surroundings. Keep a good rapport with kids they'll tell you stuff that could help prevent things. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@Partain_Science @PErachelbell Parents wear a photo id? #scitlap

BroCstart Sep 21 @ 9:27 PM EDT

#scitlap #tlap Saw this on facebook. About burst a seam laughing. https://t.co/fON4ZxkeBn

pentaclethra Sep 21 @ 9:27 PM EDT

We have a RAPTOR system that checks visitor IDs to criminal database. Still doesn't prevent students from letting in strangers. #scitlap

BroCstart Sep 21 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Our school has a camera at door w/ remote to unlock. All other doors locked. Ss don't open doors. #scitlap

KathleenDiver Sep 21 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@BroCstart The school is 15 only years old- In that time, we have had 2 wildfires and one water main break that caused evacuation #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:28 PM EDT

How do you get a photo ID quickly? #scitlap https://t.co/3wrx6nDlcM

@BroCstart Lol! YES! #SCITLAP

Partain_Science - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@daleyscience They scan your DL & the RAPTOR system prints a label with their name & destination. #scitlap

sbosch_spps Sep 21 @ 9:30 PM EDT

ENVOY training helped last week. 1 kinder cut finger with scissors others all needed help. BREATH LOW, nod and smile, scan room #scitlap

A5) The safety reminder that I repeat most frequently is NO EATING during lab! Over and over and over.... #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Sep 21 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A5: We are adding a new rally point drill this year in light of last year's gas leak. Very important in our aging building. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:37 PM EDT

Epipens receive annual training/reminders. CPR and defibrillators too. #scitlap

BroCstart Sep 21 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@Mr_Canterbury My school needs to look at this too. Our corner was built up in the 20's, lots of old utility lines. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5 Absolutely. 1st week, and usually 2 drills for fire and lockdown each. Signs posted in rm, but stress school is a safe place. #scitlap

BroCstart Sep 21 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis same here, some of these state requires. Also have to do suicide prevention training. Rough way to start a day #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@BroCstart @SciTeach7Davis We do a lot of this. Suicide prevention, child abuse reporting, bullying etc #scitlap

BroCstart Sep 21 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@Partain_Science It is kind of sad this is the case, but what an honor that we are trusted to be that adult in a kid's life. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:41 PM EDT

So many issues Ss deal with outside of school. Emotional safety is important too. #scitlap

BroCstart Sep 21 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@daleyscience Absolutely. Relationships > everything else in education. #scitlap

pentaclethra Sep 21 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A5 I go over safety on a daily basis. When doing labs we review safety precautions first. #scitlap

BroCstart Sep 21 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@sbosch_spps @Partain_Science I am on front line for a couple kids who are having a rough year. Depression is brutal. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:43 PM EDT

Truth. That's why all that other stuff is so frustrating. Testing, data collection, paperwork, etc. #scitlap https://t.co/MWH35Z4CPR

BroCstart Sep 21 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@daleyscience Absolutely. Relationships > everything else in education. #scitlap

sbosch_spps Sep 21 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A5: I send a letter to parents saying we go outside for science. Please alert me to allergies, asthma, or EpiPen needs. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@sbosch_spps I am always surprised when school nurses get cut in district budgets! #scitlap

BroCstart Sep 21 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@daleyscience forest for the trees. so hard to keep focus! #scitlap

BroCstart Sep 21 @ 9:45 PM EDT

a6 state requires annual reviews of emerg. proc. review as needed. #scitlap

pentaclethra Sep 21 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A6 We talk at team and faculty meetings. Our first fire drill did not go well for our floor and we discussed possible solutions. #scitlap

PErachelbell Sep 21 @ 9:50 PM EDT

Alright everyone! That's all I have for you tonight. Please share anything else you would like with the hashtag #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A6) Of course: talk through scenarios, questions, points of confusion. Then debrief following drills. Can't just read in handbook #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:51 PM EDT

I was just thinking that school safety changed dramatically after 9/11. thoughts? #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:51 PM EDT

Suggestions for topics for next week? I'm the host! #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:51 PM EDT

Not my science safety protocols. But 9/11 certainly changed the emergency procedures. #scitlap

PErachelbell Sep 21 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis and sandy hook! #scitlap

pentaclethra Sep 21 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@SciTeach7Davis I think the unfortunate string of school shootings changed procedures. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@BroCstart @sbosch_spps I have some family who have struggled with this & it is unbelievably difficult. #scitlap

@PErachelbell thanx for the great topic tonight. #scitlap
