In-Service Training That Supports Teachers and Students

The North Dakota Safety Council (NDSC) is your statewide partner in delivering powerful, practical training that equips teachers, support staff, and administrators with the tools they need to lead safely and respond effectively.

Whether you’re planning one session or an entire day, our expert trainers can come directly to your district with proven programs that support both student safety and teacher well-being. 

Available In-Service Training Topics Include:

  • CPR/AED/First Aid

    Be ready when every second counts.
    This nationally recognized course provides hands-on instruction in life-saving techniques, helping educators respond confidently to medical emergencies involving students, staff, or themselves. Knowing what to do in a crisis helps reduce anxiety and fosters trust within your school community.

  • Mental Health First Aid

    Support begins with awareness.
    Teachers are often the first to notice when a student is struggling—but who notices the teachers? This course helps staff recognize signs of mental health challenges in others while also addressing their own stress, burnout, and emotional well-being. It’s prevention with a purpose.

  • De-Escalation & Personal Violence Prevention

    Calm the chaos—protect everyone involved.
    Tensions can rise quickly in classrooms, hallways, and offices. This training teaches staff how to recognize early warning signs, respond to aggressive behavior, and protect themselves while preserving student dignity and classroom safety. It’s practical, trauma-informed, and built to support confident decision-making.

  • Active Shooter Response

    Prepare for the unthinkable.
    Our evidence-based approach empowers staff to respond effectively during high-stress emergencies. It focuses on increasing survivability, improving coordination, and reducing panic. Just as important – it gives teachers the peace of mind that they have a plan and the training to follow it.

  • Reasonable Suspicion for Supervisors

    Keep transportation staff and students safe.
    This essential course helps administrators and supervisors recognize the signs of drug and alcohol impairment in safety-sensitive roles, such as bus drivers or custodians. It’s a necessary layer of protection for students riding to school and a critical step in maintaining a culture of accountability and wellness.

The NDSC is also a leading provider in School Bus Driver training and helps your students stay safe on the roads with Alive at 25 defensive driver training.
