Synopsis

In today's schools, the principal is responsible for planning for the unexpected, preparing for the unthinkable, and ensuring that all that can be done is done in case of emergency. Based on the author's 35 years in education, including 22 years as a building principal, this is a practical guide for principals interested in the creation, improvement, and implementation of emergency plans to prepare for critical incidents in their schools. Eighteen specific scenarios are covered in depth encompassing distinctive procedures, strategies, and techniques for planning and development of practical crisis plans. In addition to describing how to create critical incident plans involving emergency personnel and staff members, worksheets are provided related to drill exercises, role-playing simulations, and procedural critiques. This hands-on workbook provides practical exercises for use with school staffs during meetings, inservice days, and throughout the school year. (Three-hole punched, no cover)
