After School Improvement Series: Emergency Action Plans |
0.50 |
Like all other early childhood and school-age settings, after school programs need to consider how they prepare for and respond to emergency situations, from natural disasters, like storms, earthquakes, tornados, flash floods, or volcanic eruptions; fires; power outages; missing children; or acts of violence, including active shooter situations. Some emergency situations may require evacuation, while others may initiate a lock down, or shelter-in-place. The best way to prepare for emergency situations is to plan for them. We can do this by considering the kinds of emergency situations we might encounter, and then developing a series of procedures and protocols for responding to them. Your program’s Emergency Action Plan sets out your role and responsibilities should any of these emergencies occur.

Anti-Discrimination Law: A Primer for Small Businesses |
0.75 |
There are multiple federal laws regarding discrimination in the workplace.
Beginning with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the U.S. Congress has passed a number of laws to address various forms of discrimination. The Fair Housing Act of 1968, for example, prohibited discrimination concerning the sale, rental, and financing of housing based on race, religion, national origin, sex, (and as amended) handicap (later called disability), and family status. In 1990, the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed to protect the rights of individuals who are differently enabled, physically or mentally. Other laws, or amendments made to existing laws, provided further protections for people with disabilities, workers over the age of 40, and LGBTQ+ individuals, among others.
The purpose of this course, however, is not to give a history lesson on U.S. anti-discrimination law but to focus on how those laws apply today to small businesses, their employees, and their customers. |
