  1. What would you do? • You’re the teacher in a 5th grade class at a medium sized suburban school. On a typical Wednesday morning you are at the back left corner of your classroom working with a small group. 2 other small groups are working together, one at the front of the room and the other at the right center of the room near the windows. Your classroom is on the second floor. Without warning an intruder enters your room with a gun, shuts the door, and threatens to use the gun if anyone moves. Your school safety plan instructs you to use the school phone which is next to your classroom door by the intruder, or to send a student for help in an emergency situation. Neither of these is possible in this situation without endangering the life of your students or your own life

  2. Crisis Planning Heather Lynn Davenport

  3. Plan Now, Not Later! • “Knowing how to respond quickly and efficiently in a crisis is critical to ensuring the safety of our schools and students. The midst of a crisis is not the time to start figuring out who ought to do what. At that moment, everyone involved – from top to bottom – should know the drill and know each other.” • --Margaret Spellings
