The document describes a study that aimed to design an undergraduate curriculum in homeland security. A Delphi panel of homeland security directors reached consensus on important content areas. They identified 8 major areas: security issues, emergency management, risk management, threat analysis, technology, introduction to homeland security, fusion/intelligence, and training and development. The panel recommended 13 specific subject areas to include in the curriculum. The study provides a proposed curriculum framework to help colleges prepare students for careers in homeland security.

This document summarizes a paper about transformational leadership in 21st century schools. It discusses how traditional leadership models focus on technical and rational approaches that do not account for organizational factors impacting outcomes. Transformational leadership uses cultural capital through acquired knowledge and social capital via relationships and networks to create a transferable leadership model. 21st century schools aim to prepare students holistically through specialized curriculum, pedagogy, proficiency, multicultural literacy and performance. Effective leadership in these schools requires distributed and developmental approaches that transform culture and the instructional core.

This document discusses two models of decision making - the rational model and bounded rationality model. The rational model involves 6 sequential steps: 1) identifying the problem, 2) generating alternatives, 3) evaluating alternatives, 4) choosing an alternative, 5) implementing the decision, and 6) evaluating effectiveness. However, the bounded rationality model recognizes limitations in people's rationality. Decisions are made at all levels in schools and affect outcomes. Effective problem identification, consideration of alternatives, implementation, and evaluation are essential for quality decision making.

Homeland Security Building RecommendationsChuck Thompson
http://www.gloucestercounty-va.com This is the building security recommendations for schools from Homeland Security. 317 pages up to date and complete. Is your school safe?
School security is one of the prime concerns. It involves students, staff, and every other individual who is present at the premises. Hence, the duty of a school security guard is full of tough challenges. The guard must always stay alert and on his toes. This study determined the level of preparedness of the school security personnel and their qualifications towards institutional security. The respondents of the study include all thirteen (13) security guards in Misamis University Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental, Philippines that serve as the respondents. The respondents are purposively chosen by the researchers because they are fit to answer the questionnaires provided by the researchers in determining the level of preparedness of the school security personnel and their qualifications towards institutional security. The security guard possessed very good qualifications in relation to their skills, knowledge, and work style, which resulted in a relatively high mean value. The security guard's level of preparedness in terms of operating school practices and programs garnered a moderate level of mean value, indicating that it still needs to be improved. It is evident that the relationship between the qualifications of school security personnel and their level of preparedness is statistically significant. Having a good qualification may positively contribute to a high-level preparedness among the school's security personnel. Most security guards were very efficient in fulfilling their duties due largely to their qualifications, which encompassed their skills, knowledge, and work style. They were able to maintain effective control over the conditions and individuals in their immediate vicinity. On the other hand, security guards thrived in the sector of level of preparedness. This is because they were highly prepared to respond with countermeasures and preventative actions in the case of a crime. It is essential that the performance of school security guards be constantly monitored and evaluated to determine the various strengths and weaknesses of everyone for future training and improvement. In dealing with the school's various problems, security guards are encouraged to maintain their high level of preparedness and qualification. It's also crucial to keep students from bringing weapons onto campus that may threaten other students or instructors, and to conduct random sweeps of students to look for contraband like as drugs and firearms.

Unit 5 DQ
Topic 1: Infrastructure Protection
A detailed discussion of threats to and the process of protecting critical infrastructure and key resources (CI/KR) sectors from man-made and natural disasters are essential for understanding one of the main missions of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In detailed analysis of threats and protection challenges, several CI/KR sectors have emerged that require the attention of DHS professionals. These sectors include:
· Agriculture and Food
· Banking and Finance
· Communications
· Defense Industrial Base
· Energy
· Information Technology
· National Monuments and Icons
· Transportation Systems
· Water
What are some of the major threats to the CI/KR sectors identified above? Discuss some of the critical vulnerabilities of these CI/KR sectors. What are some of the prime consequences if these CI/KR sectors are damaged or destroyed? Describe DHS plans to deter threats, mitigate vulnerabilities, and minimize consequences.

Hello classmates/Professor
The Homeland Security Act of 2002 provides the basis for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) responsibilities in the protection of the Nation’s CIKR. The act assigns DHS the responsibility for developing a comprehensive national plan for securing CIKR and for recommending the “measures necessary to protect the key resources and critical infrastructure of the United States coordination with other agencies of the Federal Government and in cooperation with State and
local government agencies and authorities, the private sector, and other entities. (Chertoff, 2009) The NIPP defines the organizational structures that provide
the framework for coordination of CIKR protection efforts at all levels of government, their framework includes the action of setting goals and objectives, Identify Assets, Systems and Networks, Assess Risk, consequences, vulnerabilities, and threats. Prioritize, Implement Programs and Measure effectiveness.
The NIPP Conducts research and development and using technology to improve CIKR protection-related capabilities to ensure refined risk assessments for many years into the future. The NIPP assistance programs offers Federal grant assistance to State, local, tribal, and territorial entities; and complement relevant private sector activities. Part of their mission is to make America safer and more secure from cyber attacks and also both man made and natural disasters. Together, the NIPP and SSPs provide the mechanisms for identifying critical assets, systems, and networks, and their associated sectors. In dealing with risk and emergencies the NIPP has Sector Specific Agencies that are assigned certain areas of responsibilities such as Agriculture, Food, Energy and Water. Banking and Finance Communications, in dealing with the potential risk that may befall any of these entities the NIPP takes critical steps to assess, mitigate, protect, and plan for futur ...
The document discusses concealed carry on college campuses and how to minimize risks associated with allowing concealed weapons. It analyzes the problem using an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from engineering and organizational leadership. From an engineering perspective, risks could be mitigated through designing new gun safety technologies or campus safety systems. Organizational leadership perspectives focus on improving communication, education, and training regarding situational awareness and emergency response. The document reviews research on topics like "smart guns", active shooter training programs, and students' perceptions of safety after participating in resilience programs. It concludes some effective systems for preparing students for active shooter situations could be implemented on campuses.

The document discusses three potential capstone project topics related to security management. Topic 1 examines the positive and negative effects of implementing Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) at public schools. Topic 2 focuses on the essential need for U.S. maritime port security and the importance of compatibility between private and government security functions. Topic 3 addresses the required need for adequate training of private security professionals and how integrated training with law enforcement could advance security.
The Guardian SafeSchool Program is a comprehensive school security program developed by Critical Intervention Services (CIS) and the S2 Institute to protect students from violence. The program utilizes a holistic, integrated approach involving proactive threat prevention and mitigation of potential impacts through preparedness and response. This includes promoting a positive school culture, threat assessment, security procedures, and emergency protocols. The program has received national recognition and was endorsed by John Jay College of Criminal Justice as a model for best practices. CIS consultants can assist schools in implementing the program through security assessments, improving procedures, and staff training.
Designing School Security: Low Cost/Low Tech Solutions For Building A Better ...Cody Wortham
This document discusses improving school security through low-cost architectural design solutions. It notes that since the Columbine shooting, school security has been a major concern, but that rural schools often have small budgets that limit security options. The document argues that crisis management plans should dictate building design, not vice versa, and that older school designs with open areas and glass are problematic for lockdown strategies. It reviews survey data showing most schools lack comprehensive security features and argues all schools face threats internally and externally, so buildings need robust security designs to protect students from any crisis.
This document provides an in-depth analysis of security and safety procedures at community colleges. It explores the history of security at community colleges, pressing issues around mental health and crime, improvements made since 9/11 and Virginia Tech, and new certificate programs focused on security. The author analyzes several articles on the topic and concludes more financial resources are needed for counseling services and security staff as well as better communication systems like Facebook to enhance campus safety.
This document introduces threat assessment as a process for preventing targeted school violence. It describes a collaboration between the US Secret Service and Department of Education to study school shootings and adapt the Secret Service's threat assessment model for use in schools. Key findings from the Safe School Initiative study revealed that most school shootings were planned in advance and involved observable warning signs, suggesting threat assessment may help prevent future attacks by identifying concerning behaviors. The guide aims to help schools implement threat assessment to appropriately respond to troubling situations and create safer learning environments.
This study aims at identifying the role played by school administrators' and curricula in promoting intellectual security of students. To achieve this purpose, the researchers adopted the descriptive approach. Data were gathered and analyzed by using a questionnaire that determines the role of school administrations and curricula in the promotion of intellectual security. The questionnaire includes two sections: first; the respondents' profile information, second; sixteen 5-point Likert-type questions. The study sample consisted of 27 male and 14 male. The data obtained from the questionnaire show that school administrators', extracurricular activities, and curricula had a statistically significant effect on promoting intellectual security of students respectively. For this research study, results, along with practical implications and recommended future research directions were discussed.

A Model of Disaster Resilience Among Colleges and Universities: A Mixed Metho...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT :This research paper aimed to create a comprehensive framework for measuring disaster
resilience in colleges and universities. The study used a mixed method through Exploratory Factor Analysis
(EFA), which involved analyzing data from a survey questionnaire. The questionnaire was developed based on
in-depth interviews with 12 selected participants from the University of Mindanao, as well as relevant literature
and studies. It was reviewed and validated by 10 experts using a method called Content Validity Ratio (CVR).
This questionnaire was then administered to 400 students from 10 different colleges in University of Mindanao.
After conducting the Exploratory Factor Analysis and performing rotations and iterations, the researchers
identified five main constructs that characterize disaster resilience among colleges (1) disaster preparedness, (2)
disaster awareness, (3) community readiness, and (4) disaster management, (5) disaster resilience. The
researchers aimed to create an organization called “Council of College Disaster Volunteers (CCDV)” which
consist of student volunteers. These factors can be used to develop effective management strategies and
strengthen efforts in preventing and managing disasters and accidents.
KEYWORDS:content validity ratio, criminology, disaster resilience, disaster management, exploratory factor
analysis, and Philippines.

Community disaster education is an integral component of emergency management around the world. Its main goal is to promote public safety and, to a lesser extent, reduce disaster damages. However, there has been relatively little research into the appropriateness and effectiveness of the community disaster education programs and learning activities, including those provided by emergency agencies. This is due largely to the general lack of evaluation of these programs, the difficulty in isolating education as a causal factor in aspects of disaster management performance, and disaster education not being embraced strongly by the academic field of education.
Compounding this situation is the call by many governments around the world to build community disaster resilience in addition to public safety, with education viewed as a critical mechanism. There is therefore an urgent need to not only examine current community disaster education practices based on education theory and practice, but also to align them to the broader goal of disaster resilience.
In response, an exploratory research methodology was utilised to examine possible learning content and processes that could be used by emergency agencies and other organisations to design Learning for Disaster Resilience (LfDR) plans, programs and activities for local communities.
The research found that disaster resilience learning content should not only cover preparedness aspects, but also learning about improving recovery for people, organisations (e.g. businesses) and communities. It found that disaster resilience learning should also include learning about the community itself, including how to reduce vulnerabilities and strengthen resilience.
Opportunities for disaster resilience learning were identified in four broad learning domains – behavioural, cognitive, affective and social. The findings demonstrated that many current disaster education programs are only using limited parts of this learning ‘spectrum’, although this would be significantly increased by further embracing social media as a disaster resilience learning medium.

Concentric rings of security can be one of the best approach methoLynellBull52
Concentric rings of security can be one of the best approach methods to install any security program in its entirety and has been updated by the use of technologies and processes such as CPTED, the understanding of the end product is a not as easy as its name sounds. The use of these differing items can help ball the end product up into the most effective outcome giving the parameters that are directed by those in control and understanding the difference of needs to the area that you are in can make it even better.
In making any portion of any product that goes into the security methodology. The use of items such as CPTED and critical thought processing in assessments make the attributed effort of security an intrinsic sectioning of the spaces involved. Knowing how to see and predict faults in systematic collapses of areas that might allow for a bypass of the procedures can lower the effectiveness of the security in any given area. This process of concentric rings of security can pinpoint the areas effectiveness and their need for additional security protocols and processes in a given section of the concentric rings.
A reminder in this process, is that the areas’ location can affect the total situations needed to be put into place in the areas in question. The targeted secure item needs to heave different technology and stricter procedures than someone entering into the perimeter of a complex. Things like the use of Identification card scanners might work in the lower ring or outer ring, but the more you peel back the rings and go deeper this would not be an effective deterrent into the inner most ring that would be beneficial to the person entering into it, and not the company protecting it.
Using some of the references that I have listed below can add to the thought process in my paper in the fact they are considered to be productive members in their specialized profession. These authors and groups allow for a complete understanding of their individual design systems and how they can add to their specific field by integrating such thought processes that would allow for the personal growth of those involved in the areas to be protected.
Some of the references give instruction on how the government had to take consideration into protecting its own facilities in such a way to prevent future attacks and their potential damage and was produced after the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The idea was to lower the potential number of injuries involved, harden the structures, and then keep would be criminal characters from entering into such facilities. A known target would be the central concern of the concentric rings of security.

The document summarizes challenges facing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in acquiring and applying national intelligence. It notes that while DHS has made progress, it still struggles with issues like properly classifying critical infrastructure and prioritizing security efforts. The literature suggests DHS should adopt a risk-based approach to identify the most critical facilities and assess potential threats, rather than treating all infrastructure as equally important. This would help DHS focus its resources on the most significant security risks facing the United States.

Abstract
The events of 2001 caused major changes to the structure of national security within the United
States. With these changes came the challenge of finding individuals with the appropriate
educational background to fill future positions as they became available in areas of security.
This article examines the results of a study that was designed to determine the best content suited
for a baccalaureate degree in homeland security.
______________________________________________________________________________
Terrorism, according to Pfefferbaum (2002), goes beyond the obvious consequences of
death, destruction, and the disruption of daily activities by instilling terror into the environment.
To offset the potential threat of terrorism, the nation must be prepared. “If prepared,
communities can advance recovery from a terrorist attack; when unprepared, communities may
inadvertently foster fear and intimidation” (Pfefferbaum, p. 8). As a result of a continuing threat
of terrorism and the development of the Department of Homeland Security, many colleges and
universities initiated programs in security-related fields (Neyman, 2004). However, observers
have noted the lack of needed course work for a degree in homeland security.

Purpose of the Article
The purpose of this article is to report the results of a study conducted to identify a
proposed baccalaureate program in homeland security. A select group of experts served on a
Delphi panel that provided a consensus of opinion on a defined list of subjects considered
essential for a homeland security curriculum. With such a curriculum, institutions should be in a
better position to prepare individuals to fill future positions as they became available in areas of
security.
Rationale for the Study
Since World War II, the management and direction of U.S. intelligence gathering has
changed and grown. Besides the National Security Agency (NSA), other government
organizations have come into existence and played an important role in U.S. national security.
Some of these agencies are the “National Security Council (NSC), the Defense Intelligence
Agency (DIA), the National Foreign Intelligence Board (NFIB), the Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Department of State, the Department of
Energy, the Department of the Treasury, the Commerce Department, and military services”
(Burns, 1990, p. 1). Additionally, to protect and to defend North American airspace from threats
outside the borders of Canada and the United States, the North American Aerospace Defense
Command (NORAD) was established.
A reorganization for better national security was initiated by the 9/11 Commission and its
39 recommendations following the terrorist attacks in 2001. Some of the changes resulting from
the 9/11 Commission’s recommendations included the following: the establishment of a Director
of National Intelligence, the National Counterterrorism Center, the Domestic Nuclear Detection
Office, the Terrorist Screening Center, the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, the
National Targeting Center to screen imported cargo, the Container Security Initiative, and the
U.S.-VISIT Entry-Exit System (National Commission, 2004). The 9/11 Commission
recommendations resulted in several other key institutional developments and the prevention of
several attempted or planned attacks (CNN.com, 2006; National Commission, 2004).
Throughout history, academia has played a role in educating and preparing leaders for
various national agendas. For most of the past 4 centuries, numerous institutions have stepped up
to the challenge to aid the United States when needed. But in 2001, a new threat presented itself,
and the universities again have been asked to fill a void in preparing leaders. Smith (2005)
suggested that a specialization of curriculum for homeland security had not existed previously
because “a standard body of knowledge upon which instructors could readily base a curriculum”
had not been available (p. 236). Pelfrey and Pelfrey (2009) conducted an evaluation review of
curriculum documents and found neither a “clear educational roadmap to homeland security
nor…a consensus on appropriate curricula for homeland security programs” (p. 62). According
to Neyman (2004), full degree programs in homeland security have not been adopted by
universities, because the value of an entire degree was not fully understood.
Writing for the Analytic Services Institute for Homeland Security, McIntyre (2002) stated
that “no generally accepted curriculum [exists] for homeland security…a rigorous, sequential,
and progressive program of professional education in homeland security is essential…to secure
3. JON E. TRAVIS AND CHRIS W. BRADSHAW
____________________________________________________________________________________________3
our homeland” (p. 3). McIntyre also emphasized that a need exists to construct a curriculum that
will focus on several issues that have not been addressed in the past. In an attempt to fill such a
gap, this research study was performed with the intention of identifying a curriculum that would
prepare professionals for employment in Homeland Security and enable them to predict threats,
to provide clear and adequate measures for minimizing vulnerabilities to those threats, and to
have acquired a knowledge base in the procedures for recovering from a perpetrated threat.
Summary of the Study
The researcher employed the Delphi process to identify, to validate, and to prioritize
subject areas deemed important for a baccalaureate curriculum in homeland security. The Delphi
technique is designed specifically to enable a researcher to obtain a consensus of opinion from an
expert panel of participants without the requirement of face-to-face meetings (Dalkey, 1969).
Two research questions were addressed:
1. What type of content areas should be included for a program in homeland security
according to a Delphi panel?
2. What type of curriculum should be included in a baccalaureate degree program in
homeland security according to a Delphi panel?
To obtain data for the study, 17 individuals were identified; based upon their position
titles as directors of homeland security at the state, province, and/or territory level; to serve on
the Delphi panel. In the initial round of surveys, the panel identified 77 subcontent areas that
were organized into 14 groups according to similar subject content and were placed under
headings related to current fields of study called major content areas. Through the subsequent
three survey rounds, the Delphi panel ranked the major content areas and the subcontent areas
until consensus was reached. Each member of the panel was asked to rank all the content areas
according to the member’s perception of the essential nature of each area for a complete
curriculum. The resulting 13 subject areas that received the highest frequency count of panelists
designating the subject as essential were selected as a final, workable curriculum for homeland
security.
Findings
Of the 14 major content areas identified, 8 were selected as being important enough to
consider for inclusion in a comprehensive homeland security curriculum program. The major
content areas, listed from most important to least important as ranked by the mean, were Security
Issues, Emergency Management, Risk Management, Threat Analysis, Technology, Introduction
to Homeland Security, Fusion/Intelligence, and Training and Development. Major content areas
rated as less important by the participants included Criminal Justice/Legal, Sciences, Theology,
General Liberal Arts, Grant Management, and Industrial Hygiene.
Within these eight major content areas, 23 subjects were rated high enough to warrant
consideration in a curriculum in homeland security. Because the general number of credit hours
4. FOCUS ON COLLEGES, UNIVERSITIES, AND SCHOOLS
4____________________________________________________________________________________________
for many majors is limited to 40 hours or less, a need to reduce or to combine the 23 subjects to a
workable curriculum seemed necessary. Using the frequency count for each of the 23 suggested
subject areas; the researcher excluded 10 additional subjects from the total (see Appendix for
final list). A minor within a degree or even an associate's degree could also be constructed from
the subcontent areas by selecting the seven subjects with the highest frequency counts:
Information Sharing, History (of homeland security), Disaster Response and Recovery,
Technology Intelligence, National Response Framework, Homeland Security Issues, and
Vulnerability. From this list, a diverse program is still possible and would allow crossover into
several fields of study, including technology, history, emergency management, security, and risk
management.
Participants in this study all agreed (100%) that a curriculum in homeland security should
not be focused strictly on terrorism. Approximately 90% of the participants also agreed that the
curriculum should focus on "All Threats" and "All Hazards" that might be under the purview of
homeland security. In addition, 85.7% of the participants agreed that the curriculum should have
multiple areas of emphasis, or as one respondent suggested, areas of “concentration.” The panel
members offered numerous comments that a curriculum in homeland security should offer
different emphasis pathways or tracks for students to pursue.
Conclusion
This study makes clear that a curriculum covering the various aspects of homeland
security is needed, that such a curriculum can be developed, and that such a curriculum can be
comprehensive and unified. The curriculum should be innovative and inquisitive and should be
in a mode of continuous improvement, coinciding with an ever-changing world. Obviously, more
subject areas were suggested than any degree program could utilize, giving some credence to the
idea that multiple curriculum tracks could possibly be developed. A basic curriculum derived
from the data gathered suggest a curriculum that should include courses covering each of the 13
subject areas listed in the Appendix. Even though this study has suggested a basic curriculum for
homeland security, additional work is necessary, as noted by Preston, Armstrong, and McCoy
(2010):
[Educators no longer] have the luxury…to design curricula in isolated cells without
checking the academic content and theory with practitioners who use it every
day…[because] the practitioners…show us, as academics, what is useful and what is
not….[T]heir daily struggles…should determine how we educate future HLS
professionals. (p. 205)
Clearly, the process of determining a baccalaureate curriculum for homeland security
should be an ongoing effort. Additional consultations and studies should be pursued with the
Homeland Security Advisory Council, the National Infrastructure Advisory Council, and the
Homeland Security Science and Technology Advisory Committee. Continuing the process of
developing a curriculum in homeland security for higher education needs to be dynamic due to
the constantly changing realm of homeland security. However, the proposed curriculum
presented here is an important first step.
