Crisis Management and School Safety Assignment Instructions
Overview
Safety is the number one priority in every school. Safety comes before learning can even begin to take place. With this in mind, every school has a ‘School Safety Plan’ and/or a ‘Crisis Management Plan.’ However, some of these plans haven’t been changed in a long time and/or updated with the most current emergencies in mind (think about COVID-19). Some schools may have them updated but haven’t provided essential training to inform ALL staff of procedures.
