Preparing for Crises in the Schools: A Manual for Building School Crisis Response Teams - Couverture rigide
Synopsis
An unfortunate reality of life is that at some point all schools will experience a significant crisis event. School personnel need to anticipate and prepare for these crises, which may include sudden deaths, crime and violence, and natural disasters. A lack of preparedness increases the likelihood that a crisis will have adverse outcome for students and staff. At best, lack of preparedness results in delayed response, and it is commonly acknowledged that any hesitation makes matters worse and requires more intensive remedial action later. As practising psychologists and university trainers, the authors have combined both the theoretical and applied aspects of crisis intervention in a user-friendly text. This volume examines fundamental issues of initiating and implementing school crisis response plans. It features a compendium of forms and checklists that may be used to monitor the development of effective crisis response teams. The authors include a comprehensive review of how to intervene when a crisis has occurred and offer suggestions on how to get a school district mobilized to respond to crisis events. It should be of interest to teachers and local education authorities.

Présentation de l'éditeur
A step–by–step guidebook for advance preparation and early response to school crises
This Second Edition of Preparing for Crises in the Schools arrives at a critical moment. With several recent dramatic examples of school violence and other tragedies afflicting communities nationwide, the need for school districts to take proactive measures–rather than merely react to a crisis–is critical.
This completely updated edition offers practical plans for laying the important groundwork to ensure that crisis response will be both immediate and thorough in the wake of tragedy. Authored by three school crisis response planning experts, it offers advice on early detection of trouble, developing plans and procedures to intervene with youths quickly and successfully, and conducting a school in–service workshop on crisis response planning and intervention.
Essential for counselors, school psychologists, teachers, and administrators alike, this book helps ensure that schools are not caught by surprise when a crisis occurs.
