How do you deal with safety in the classroom?
I think that safety is an important issue in the classroom. I believe having a few set of guidelines are important to give the students structure. I also think that it is necessary to have specific instruction for each individual lesson. This is important because some lesson may introduce new materials that the student's are unfamiliar with. For example, if the instructor is teaching a lesson where the student's create stencil using card stock and an exact o knife; it is important that they are first instructed on how to do the task to avoid injury. The level that you are teaching also need to be taken into account because high school student will most likely have more knowledge of safety than an elementary level student would.
Other Ways....
-labeling
-teacher supervision
-incorporate into rules
-student contracts-- showing that they understand procedures and how to use materials etc.
