The department has been approached by the school superintendent about starting a Fire and Life Safety Education Program for all grades, K-12. As the fire inspector, this project will fall under your responsibility. The superintendent has asked that you submit your program plan in writing so that it can be reviewed and discussed at the next school board meeting. If your plan is approved, the program will begin the next school year. However, there are budget constraints, and several members of the school board feel like there are more important areas and programs that need funding.
You are to create a plan for a Fire and Life Safety Education Program.
Given the circumstances with some of the school board members, your plan should begin with a summary of a comprehensive overview of general fire safety for occupied buildings. You should also demonstrate rationale for the general fire safety provisions as methods of fire protection. Let them know how important this program is through the short-term and long-term benefits to students and to the community as a whole. Also, be sure to include the following:
Please list 3 different goals for the program,
organization of grades. Please have 5 different grade groups.
a broad outline of the topics to be taught,
broad details of any special events/activities, and
a plan to keep the program going, year after year. (Will certain grades be taught certain topics each year so that, as student progress, they learn new things?)
Your response must be 4 pages in length, in APA style. Please use 5 sources, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying APA citations. Please use “doi” numbers where applicable. The title and reference pages are not included in the page-count requirement.
