Precautionary mea- sures can make homes as safe as possible, but acci- dents can still happen. The National Safety Council says that 25 million in-home injuries occurred in homes in 2018. Acciden- tal death is the third-leading cause of death in the Unit- ed States, according to the Centers for Disease Con- trol and Prevention. In fact, the NSC says the home injury death rate increased by 150 percent between 1999 and 2018. The top fi ve most fatal household injuries in the United States are poison- ing, falls, choking or suffo- cation, drowning, and fi res/ burns. Recognizing the threat these accidents pose can compel people to make every effort possible to pre- vent them from happening. • Poisoning: Poisoning can be attributed to expo- sure to household chemi- cals, but illicit drugs and alcohol use, as well as pre- scription drug overdoses, have become major con- tributors to accidental poi- sonings. Keeping medicine and liquor cabinets locked can prevent children and teens from accessing items that are off limits. Disposing of unused or expired pre- scription medication can help remove drugs from the home. Educating children about the dangers of drugs and alcohol also may help. • Falls: Falls can happen at any age but they're most common among the very young or very old. Installing grab bars in bathrooms, im- proving indoor lighting and removing tripping hazards like area rugs or toys from high traffi c areas can re- duce the likelihood of falls. Young children should be carefully supervised and deterred from climbing. • Choking / suffocation: U.S. News & World Report says airway obstruction — which includes choking, suffocation and strangula- tion — claims about 1,000 lives a year. Children often put objects in their mouths and swallow them, result- ing in choking. Eating too quickly and failing to chew adequately at any age can cause food to become lodged in the throat. Older adults may lose the ability to chew or swallow ade- quately due to cognitive dis- orders or other conditions. Suffocation can occur when children are put in unsafe sleeping environments. Too many blankets or toys can impede youngsters' ability to breathe. Keeping a home clean, monitoring children and seniors while eating and learning the Heimlich maneuver can help prevent injuries. • Drowning: A young child can drown in just inches of water, but pools, bathtubs and other standing water can be of greatest con- cern. Install fencing with self-latching gates and su- pervise children at all times when they are around wa- ter. • Burns/fi res: Install plen- ty of working smoke alarms and hold fi re drills to re- duce the risk of fi re-related deaths and injuries. Turn- ing down the temperature of a home water heater to avoid scalding and exercis- ing caution in the kitchen, where many fi res originate, also is key. Never leave food unattended on the stove. Home accidents can happen, but awareness of common incidents may compel people to place a greater emphasis on pre- vention. Common home accidents and how to avoid them Pinnacle Classical Acad- emy's 4th-grade teacher, April Bridges, was named an Ex- traordinary Educator by Cur- riculum Associates, a leading education partner serving more than 10 million teachers and students in 50 states. Curriculum Associates has named 44 teachers to the 2021 class of Extraordi- nary Educators, an annual program that celebrates and connects exemplar teachers from around the country. This year's 44 teachers from across 26 states and Washington, DC exhibit best-in-class use of i- Ready and/or Ready, illustrate growth and achievement via formal assessments, demon- strate innovation and engage- ment practices for students, are evangelists for high stan- dards and student achieve- ment, and have been teaching for at least two years. Describing her classroom culture in three words, Bridges said, "Believe you can!" She also is also a strong believer in data-driven instructions, say- ing, "Data-driven instruction is an invaluable tool in determin- ing what can further enhance cognitive development of stu- dents.." "It goes without saying that this has been an unprec- edented school year that has challenged educators, stu- dents, and families alike," said Rob Waldron, CEO of Curriculum Associates. "How- ever, this group of Extraordi- nary Educators—like so many other educators across the country—has more than risen to the occasion. We are proud to recognize these remarkable teachers for their hard work, dedication, and innovative best practices that continue to posi- tively impact the students they serve." This year's Extraordinary Educators, who were cho- sen from among hundreds of nominations, will have access to a network of peers from around the country to collabo- rate, connect, and learn from throughout the year, as well as receive unique professional development opportunities from Curriculum Associates. They will also be invited to participate and present at the Extraordinary Educators Lead- ership Summit along with other professional learning events throughout the year. This is the second year of the Extraordinary Educators program. Last year's inaugu- ral class featured 31 teachers from across 15 states.
