SRO5: Working with Diverse Populations

A positive school climate that meets the needs of all is essential to promoting a safe and supportive learning environment.

These differences may require unique inclusionary practices or the ability to access a unique set of services. Designed for School Resource Officers, this course provides an overview of how to recognize challenges associated with diverse student identities and build a positive school climate for all students. This course is the fifth in a six-part series titled MSP Training in School Safety and Mental Health for School Resource Officers.

  • Identify diversity and inclusion topics and practices in schools.
  • Understand how school safety personnel can contribute to a positive school climate for all students.
