ESIP Toolkit

The Injury Prevention Centre has developed this toolkit to help elementary educators teach the importance of injury prevention in alignment with the Alberta Education Curriculum.

This toolkit is designed to align with the Alberta Education Curriculum and provides a variety of resources, activities, and learning tools to engage students. The goal is to help young learners understand the importance of staying safe and how they can avoid injuries.

Why is the ESIP Toolkit important?

The Elementary School Injury Prevention (ESIP) Toolkit teaches students how to stay safe and avoid injuries, which are common at the elementary school age. By giving educators the right tools and resources, the program helps children understand safety in a way that is fun and easy to remember.

The toolkit is based on research into what works best for teaching young learners, helping to change their knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors around injury prevention. It’s an essential part of promoting health and safety in schools across Alberta.

“Childhood injuries are not just an unfortunate occurrence—they are preventable, and we must focus on education and awareness to reduce the risks.”
