Lunchtime Supervisor training video series DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD OF NIAGARA Sue Ehgoetz, Linda Gonschior, Todd Halliday, Mike Herfst, Jim Merrick, & GennyWeerdenburg (Andre Ceci, Jacques-Yves Dubois)
Purpose • The District School Board of Niagara amalgamated years of best practices around lunchtime supervision in order to create a video series to provide system wide training for all Lunchtime Supervisors.
process • Proposal sent in and approved by OESC. Committee was established. Contacted other school boards and asked about their LS training procedures. Brainstormed a variety of common scenarios to videotape. Using a template created by the Tech team, created a script for each vignette. Tech team visited each of the recording sites and recorded the scene/s. LS training sessions were organized in various areas to accommodate different needs.
Pre-training questionnaire • In what training and development activities have you participated over the last 12 months? • WHMIS • CPR & First Aid • Asbestos Awareness training • Germ Prevention • Violence Prevention • Crisis Intervention • Anaphalactic with Epi-Pen • Job shadowing of previous LS
Dangerous animal on the playground Quick, but calm action by the lunchtime supervisor minimizes danger…
Sample feedback • Supervisor was calm, collected and acted quickly. She was right to notify the principal. • Good use of whistle and radio (walkie talkie). • Never experienced this. Learned a lot. I would not have known what to do. • Would there be a different protocol if the children ran towards the animal (dog)? • What if the children go running when they hear the bell ring and the dog follows or chases them? • We don’t use walkie talkies at our school.
Exemplary practices video Creating a peaceful playground
Sample feedback • Good tips. Very informative with lots of great advice that covered all the bases. It sums up all the videos. • I think the vest with pockets, whistle and walkie talkie are all excellent ideas! • I like the idea of carrying a pen and paper to write things down. • I think the students themselves should see this video, ask questions and make comments to help improve situations all around. Everyone will understand what is expected of themselves. • This should be required viewing for all staff!
Post-training questionnaire • To what extent did these training and development activities help you do your job better?
Sample feedback • It’s good to have a refresher course just to make sure you’re doing things right. • I learned a few new things that will help me in the field. • The videos showed various situations we deal with and it showed different approaches. As well it confirmed what I’ve been doing is correct and productive. • This helped so much because I have never had any training.
Post-training questionnaire • To what extent did these training and development activities make you feel good about your role?
Sample feedback • It is nice to know that I am doing the right things. • Showed different strategies. Very good because I am a visual learner. • Showed me some areas that I could improve upon. • I feel more valuable to the school and students. It’s a very important position. • It helped because it made me feel more secure and knowledgeable.
Post-training questionnaire • If you could change anything about the training and development you receive, what would you change? • More frequent training • Nothing. It was great, very informative • It would have been beneficial to have this training at the beginning of the school year to let us know what is expected. • More discussion between us to compare procedures in our individual schools
challenges • Privacy issues (with regard to filming – media releases used) • Use of new technology • Understanding and appreciating roles unfamiliar to us • Logistics of filming certain scenes (ie. Firedrills) • Weather
Future plans • Edit videos based on feedback • Create additional videos (scenarios) • Encourage principals to train all staff (provide access to videos) and answer questions/concerns • Provide LS feedback to principals (ie. Many felt they needed additional training with lockdown procedures and First Aid) • Make recommendations to Health & Safety committee with regards to future training opportunities, as requested by LS’s on feedback For more information: Sue.Ehgoetz@dsbn.edu.on.ca
