Administrators/Educators, I'm Not Scared...I'm Prepared! is a brilliant, proactive way of educating children how to handle lockdown and evacuation situations. Julia has certainly created a dynamic tool for educators to talk to children in "kid terms" about what to do if there is an intruder in the building. The Sheep, The Shepherd and The Wolf Drill will empower communities nationwide to improve school safety. Erin E. Bowden M.S. Professional School Counselor, Applause to Julia Cool for crating an educational story for students on how to handle a lockdown, evacuation or a dangerous person on campus. The genius here is how she turned a familiar story into a "training" to enhance the Alice Drill concepts which makes a scary topic less scary. Our students and communities do need to be prepared and this book is a great start to educating and discussing these sensitive topics. I recommend this book as a read aloud and a educational tool to start the school year. Jessica Perez Second Grade Teacher, I applaud Julia and the ALICE Training Institute for providing education to our young students about potential school intruders through I'm Not Scared...I'm Prepared! While it is a scary subject, it's also a genuine threat, and students as well as staff deserve preparation. I'm Not Scared...I'm Prepared! helps students envision their reaction to an intruder prior to an incident. Because students are accustomed to the step-by-step ways schools normally function, it's important to show them that there is no singular response to these dynamic events.
