WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN IN SCHOOLS
When bad things happen to students and educators, crisis responders must be prepared to help them cope and guide them back to a sense of safety and security. School Crisis Response: Reflections of a Team Leader describes traumatic events with lessons learned and reflections on best practices. This resource prepares students, crisis responders, and teams for the hard decisions, emotions, and challenges of response. It encourages reflection and strengthens both new and experienced responders. It celebrates the work of school psychologists, counselors, teachers, administrators, social workers, and nurses who provide extraordinary service in the most difficult circumstances. Situations include:
* When a popular middle school student suddenly collapses in the classroom, his classmates witness the school nurse trying in vain to revive him.
* When a teacher revered in the Latino community suffers an accidental death, the response team demonstrates cultural sensitivity.
* The murder of a high school senior is the most recent in community violence that devastates students and staff.
* A principal and counselor prepare a school community during the terminal illness of a beloved kindergarten teacher.
