Addressing Situational Awareness
Situational awareness can be defined simply as knowing and identifying what is happening around us. It is the perception of the people, events, and activities in the environment during a time frame and physical space, adding a comprehension of their potential status in the future and the consequences and importance for us and our best interests.
The need for safer schools
In the education sector, situational awareness means being aware of who and what is on school facilities and campuses. Most threats have implied human protagonists; this makes it necessary for schools to be more aware of and accurately identify who is on school premises. This includes students, parents, faculty, staff, vendors, and general visitors-
It’s critical to recognize anyone who is acting or having unusual behavior.

In the principles of situational awareness training, taking these notifications and signs seriously are considered part of current mandatory good practices every school should acquire.
