Franklin Schargel’s Blog

I am honored to have been selected to deliver two workshops at the New Mexico Attendance Conference to be held at the  Berna Facio Professional Development Center in Albuquerque, NM on September 29.

The title of my presentations is “Strategies To Prevent School Violence” and is drawn from material from my forthcoming book. It draws from recent research from the FBI, Secret Service, National Threat Assessment Agency, Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health.

Hope you can attend.

I had the privilege of addressing Wings for Life International with the latest information on School Shootings. You can find the 45 minute presentation on YouTube or the Wings for Life Website.

I recently did a fun interview with the folks at Team Subkit. It’s a short 2 minute read and you can check it out here.

Topic: Preventing School Violence (Preventing, Not Just Reacting) – Franklin Schargel

Mention Uvalde, Texas, Sandy Hook, Connecticut, or Columbine, Colorado, to most people and they will probably think of a mass school shooting. These locations will go down in history as scenes of mass school shootings. If there was a mass school shooting in your city or state, how would that impact your region’s reputation, employment prospects, or attract new companies and people who might want to move there?

The past 10 years were the most violent school years in history. Between 2010 and 2021, there were more mass school shootings nationally. Federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies believe that the 2023 school year will be even worse. 2021 had the greatest number of incidents, with 249. The next highest year was 2019 with 119. Since 1970, 637 people have died in shootings at schools. Additionally, 1,734 were injured and 73 suffered minor injuries.

According to World Population Review, there have been 10 school shootings in New Mexico in 2022.

What can students, parents, and families do to PREVENT school shootings?

On September 12th, Wings For LIFE International’s guest speaker will be Franklin P. Schargel, an Albuquerque resident, and a retired high school classroom teacher, high school Assistant Principal, and author of two books dealing with mass school violence; “Preventing School Violence: A User’s Guide” and “Creating Safe Schools: A Guide for School Leaders, Teachers, Counselors, and Parents”. Franklin will discuss how to prevent mass school violence.

For a limited time, you can purchase my book, Who Will Teach The Children? Recruiting, Retaining & Refreshing Highly Effective Educators from Amazon for $5.01. That is a 74% savings ($13.94). It has received 11 five-star reviews on Amazon.

The book identified the current education shortage and proposed 3 solutions.

• Recruiting – Actively recruit for classrooms, administration, and Superintendents
• Retaining – Teachers are leaving the field almost as quickly as Schools of Education are preparing them. The COVID-19 Virus simply accelerated that number.
• Refreshing – Current teachers are frequently teaching social media and the Internet to students who frequently know more than they do.

The book proposes strategies and solutions to solve those problems.

Take advantage of this limited-time sale.

This is a valuable resource for those seeking information on violence in our schools.
Rather than call for new rules or regulations, this important resource identifies ways to take action and therefore lessen the potential for violence. I highly recommend this book.
