All Grades: Prepared for Action: Responding Effectively to Crisis in Your School

None of us likes to think about a crisis occurring at our school. While it's impossible to prevent every imaginable incident, teachers and administrators have a responsibility to be prepared.

Our Prepared for Action manual offers your school and district a concise, comprehensive resource for handling virtually any crisis. Developed by experts in school security, law enforcement, and crisis management, this guide first emphasizes prevention in establishing a peaceful school environment and training all personnel in basic responses. It then offers step-by-step instructions for creating a crisis management team, defines responsibilities, provides handy checklists, explains evacuation techniques, and specifies immediate and long-term follow-up procedures.

The manual includes a CD-ROM containing sample forms, letters, and a complete set of crisis-related policies and procedures for use as reference. Also included: a set of adhesive "bulls-eyes" to alert emergency personnel of any unknown and possibly dangerous object.

We offer on-site training on all our curricula— call (800) 749-8838 for details!
