Overview

Today's teachers are faced with unprecedented challenges. Students arrive with critical family and personal problems. School-wide emergencies, shut-downs and campus violence add to the stress. Community events impact the classroom, and there are threats of disaster, terror and war. Teacher education rarely prepares teachers for this. What do you do? Classroom Crisis provides answers. The book delivers what teachers need in a concise, accessible format. Learn about children's reactions to emergencies and how to help a student and stabilize a class. Detailed instructions are included on how to calm students who are panicked, enraged or hysterical, and how to activate students who are in psychological shock. This book has been used by teachers and crisis teams in New York City schools following the World Trade Center attack; in Great Falls, Montana following a serial murder; and in military schools prior to and during the Gulf War. It should be in the top drawer of every teacher's desk.
