Preparation.  Prevention.  Intervention.

 

What can you do to prepare for a potential crisis in your school?  This daunting question is addressed in Mary Margaret Kerr’s School Crisis Prevention and Intervention.   As a respondent to over 1,000 school-related crises, Kerr provides a realistic and detailed guide to approaching school crises at all stages, from preparation and prevention to intervention and recovery.  Following a four-phase conceptual framework, Kerr walks you through the planning and implementation of crisis prevention and response and provides you with the tools necessary to develop a crisis prevention and intervention toolkit specific to your school.

  • Case studies of actual school crises illustrate real-life challenges and dilemmas.
  • Let’s Reflect features ask you to consider critical thinking questions, suggestions, and concepts related to chapter material.
  • Discussion/application questions at the end of each chapter stimulate dialogue and help you review chapter content.
  • The accompanying Companion Website includes links to reports, advisories, handbooks, and forms (http://www.prenhall.com/kerr).
