This book offers readers twenty crisis case studies from the inside
of school buildings. The author_a licensed administrator and former
teacher_presents salient situations and incidents that,
unfortunately, are almost common occurrences. These might include
disaffected pupils; intruder(s) in a building; a school's
potentially negative atmosphere; skills learning vs. project
learning; and girls fighting. All cases are realistic, timely, and
thought-provoking, supplemented with a series of discussion
questions for a school staff or safety group or a university
student enrolled in an administrative course of study. Rather than
a theoretical approach or one based on scientific investigation or
a specific model, the author describes events and circumstances
that are present and problematic in many schools here and abroad.
Becoming familiar with potential solutions is as important as
pinpointing available sources in one's own school district. School
Crisis Case Studies provides readers with the opportunity to
anticipate specific crisis situations and suggests responses, using
the security measures and personnel available in the schools they
are familiar with.
School Crisis Case Studies was written for educators so that they
are prepared in the event that a crisis occurs within their school.
In this book, Helen Sharp presents specific cases in K-12 school
settings that require urgent solutions. The author also explains
control procedures and offers strategies that are key toward
resumption of instructional services. The wide range of crisis
events presented in this book will prompt feedback, elicit comments
and suggestions, and allow current and future educators to reflect
on what is available to contain these events.
Administrators must respond to parents, students, and stakeholders
in the wake of a school crisis in order to inform them, allay
fears, and to counteract rumors. Most often, school
superintendents, principals, deans, and school security officers
seek a concise reference for help in writing messages when a crisis
occurs. This book, which includes completed models and sample
letter responses, addresses daily issues ranging from bullying to
student dropout rates and it offers more than thirty completed
documents to work with, to adapt to, and to utilize. Using or
reworking the examples provided here will meet the leader's
immediate need for appropriate, well-written, and timely
communication. For all educational leaders.
Whatever your profession, a common base of knowledge and standards
of performance are required for admission to practice. As an
educator, while it is true that the individual states administer
actual licensure procedures, they do so based on core standards
established across states. These case studies, which cover a
cross-section of these core values, are highly useful for people
preparing to become educational leaders and for current practicing
administrators.
