How Often Do Educators Recognize Child Abuse or Neglect in Students?

• 

Educators are often the first to report potential child abuse or neglect situations since they observe children so regularly in their classrooms.

Salt Lake City (PRWEB) April 10, 2014

School Improvement Network, the leader in educator effectiveness resources, today announced a new survey gathering educator insight on the prevalence of child abuse and neglect in support of National Child Abuse Prevention Month. The survey comes as part of School Improvement Network’s “Voices of Education” surveys, which gather educator insight on real issues affecting education across the US.

“Educators are often the first to report potential child abuse or neglect situations since they observe children so regularly in their classrooms,” said Chet D. Linton, CEO and president of School Improvement Network. “As such, their insights and experiences are essential to truly understanding this issue and forming solutions that can help children in need.”

The five-question survey asks educators how often they see symptoms of the various types of child abuse and neglect in their students, what resources are available to help them help their students, and other related questions. Survey results will be publicly available at the end of April and will be used to guide future awareness efforts, research, and resource development.
