Description

How can schools and their communities effectively prepare for and respond to emergencies? Or even a serious disruption? Mary Margaret Kerr, a nationally recognized expert in school crisis response and a leading urban educator, synthesizes and assembles the best practices of law enforcement, threat assessment, psychology, and communications in a single, streamlined volume. This practical guide prepares school personnel, including counselors and administrators, with the requisite skills at all crisis stages—from preparation and prevention to intervention and recovery. Dozens of actual cases illustrate key concepts and procedures, while allowing readers to assess their preparedness. Helpful forms and checklists help readers set priorities and ensure accountability. Interactive features encourage readers to reflect critically, consider solutions, and apply their skills.
