@teresagross625 @DavisWelcome #safeschoolschat Great question- counselor support for staff has helped in the past--ultimately...time

ESSCDiversity Feb 28 @ 3:11 PM EST

Whether a drill or a crisis have a meeting that discusses successes and shortcomings. Debriefing for all involved. #SafeSchoolsChat

itsmeSpiri Feb 28 @ 3:12 PM EST

A1) Routine is important, I always find talking about the situation more helpful than not, need to come to terms w/things #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Feb 28 @ 3:12 PM EST

@ERobbPrincipal @teresagross625 Awesome, Evan! #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Feb 28 @ 3:12 PM EST

DavisWelcome Feb 28 @ 3:13 PM EST

@ESSCDiversity Excellent point! #SafeSchoolsChat

MelanyStowe Feb 28 @ 3:13 PM EST

A1: Best way to move forward after a crisis: put your people first, be authentic, & listen. #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Feb 28 @ 3:13 PM EST

@itsmeSpiri At least one thing is "semi-normal", the routine of school/classroom. #safeschoolschat

ESSCDiversity Feb 28 @ 3:13 PM EST

A1 Take a moment to collect one's self, reduce your levels of adrenalin, speak with all constituents: students, staff(plus) #SafeSchoolsChat

DavisWelcome Feb 28 @ 3:13 PM EST

@itsmeSpiri So true! Routine is key! #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Feb 28 @ 3:13 PM EST

Hi everyone joining late #SafeSchoolsChat

MelanyStowe Feb 28 @ 3:16 PM EST

@WayneCamo Welcome Wayne! Targeting different emotional needs, love it! Art, writing, etc. #safeschoolschat

ESSCDiversity Feb 28 @ 3:18 PM EST

@ESSCDiversity The 'why' is very important! #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Feb 28 @ 3:20 PM EST

A2: take a moment to have staff reflect on their feelings (jotting down some ideas) #safeschoolschat

ERobbPrincipal Feb 28 @ 3:21 PM EST

@teresagross625 @DavisWelcome A2 #safeschoolschat Of course depends on the issue-- and this in not creative- a full faculty mtg to review

DavisWelcome Feb 28 @ 3:21 PM EST

A2: Be very open and transparent with them. #SafeSchoolsChat

JKatzaman Feb 28 @ 3:21 PM EST

A2 Debrief staff members as soon as possible while details are still fresh & before repressed memory sets in. Time is key. #safeschoolschat

ESSCDiversity Feb 28 @ 3:22 PM EST

A2 Meet outside the walls of one's school if a crisis has occurred. Meet at a place that is fun, enjoyable, relaxing. #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Feb 28 @ 3:22 PM EST

A2: staff-staff support, someone has experience w/ a particular crisis #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Feb 28 @ 3:22 PM EST

@ERobbPrincipal @DavisWelcome Of course. Bringing everyone together. #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Feb 28 @ 3:22 PM EST

JKatzaman Feb 28 @ 3:21 PM EST

A2 Debrief staff members as soon as possible while details are still fresh & before repressed memory sets in. Time is key. #safeschoolschat

MelanyStowe Feb 28 @ 3:23 PM EST

A2 Do a mock drill (earthquake, tornado) & have your principal "unable" to participate. Debrief. Great way to analyze plan. #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Feb 28 @ 3:23 PM EST

@JKatzaman Also facts vs. gossip. #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Feb 28 @ 3:23 PM EST

ESSCDiversity Feb 28 @ 3:24 PM EST

A2 From the smallest to the most unfortunate (largest), be open, give advice, love, compassion, and support. #SafeSchoolsChat

PeterBanhan Feb 28 @ 3:24 PM EST

After the storm there will be the calm. We always have to acknowledge the crisis and make a plan to move forward. #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Feb 28 @ 3:24 PM EST

@MelanyStowe Yes, reality is principal may not be there. #safeschoolschat

MelanyStowe Feb 28 @ 3:24 PM EST

Debrief is easier when practiced with a drill vs. real crisis. Also helpful in finding loopholes. #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Feb 28 @ 3:25 PM EST

@PeterBanhan Nice! #safeschoolschat

WayneCamo Feb 28 @ 3:25 PM EST

A2: Do not rush the staff member to speak. Allow the staff member to lead, be supportive, non judgmental. Allow them space.#SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Feb 28 @ 3:25 PM EST

@ESSCDiversity Open and honest, esp making people feel safe and loved. #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Feb 28 @ 3:25 PM EST

@PeterBanhan Absolutely. #safeschoolschat

ReasonerCynthia Feb 28 @ 3:25 PM EST

A2:use social media or Goggle docs for staff to "chat" on their own time. Some don't want 2 express thoughts in a group #safeschoolschat

MelanyStowe Feb 28 @ 3:26 PM EST

@teresagross625 Bingo! And cell phones likely won't work. So we have to KNOW what to do. #SafeSchoolsChat

DavisWelcome Feb 28 @ 3:26 PM EST

@WayneCamo Good point! #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Feb 28 @ 3:26 PM EST

@WayneCamo Absolutely. Everyone deals in their own way in their own time. #safeschoolschat

JKatzaman Feb 28 @ 3:26 PM EST

A2 Remember that everyone has his own honest recollection. Debriefers collect the information to sort out the facts. #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Feb 28 @ 3:26 PM EST

@ReasonerCynthia Very true! #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Feb 28 @ 3:26 PM EST

@ReasonerCynthia That is extremely important. Everyone handles things differently. #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Feb 28 @ 3:27 PM EST

A2: check-ins w/ staff you know are having difficulty, knowing your staff and Ss, anticipating needs #safeschoolschat

ReasonerCynthia Feb 28 @ 3:27 PM EST

A2: There are many churches in my school community. Meeting in one of them might be appropriate in certain instances #safeschoolschat

Question #3 coming up in a moment..... #safeschoolschat @DavisWelcome

JKatzaman Feb 28 @ 3:28 PM EST

@WayneCamo Balance that with needing to know recollections before people are told what the "facts" were. #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Feb 28 @ 3:28 PM EST

@JKatzaman Absolutely, especially under stress and in a crisis. #safeschoolschat

ESSCDiversity Feb 28 @ 3:28 PM EST

A2 Everyone has their own way of expressing themselves, give many avenues to do so. Writing, speaking, and the like. #SafeSchoolsChat

MelanyStowe Feb 28 @ 3:28 PM EST

I wrote a federal Readiness/Emergency Management grant that covered a lot of the costs with drills & planning for crises. #SafeSchoolsChat

FoleyKev Feb 28 @ 3:28 PM EST

We all hope a crisis will never happen .We have a critical incidence policy and fire drill routine.Lets not make a crisis #safeschoolschat

ERobbPrincipal Feb 28 @ 3:28 PM EST

@teresagross625 @WayneCamo A2 #safeschoolschat Yes! And it is important to not judge on how we grieve or work through a crisis

@teresagross625 @DavisWelcome A3 #safeschoolschat I can call upon a crisis team of counselors to provide support and help students

JKatzaman Feb 28 @ 3:33 PM EST

A3 Debriefs should be 1-on-1 in a calm setting but maybe not far from crisis site to help spur recollections, key details. #safeschoolschat

ReasonerCynthia Feb 28 @ 3:34 PM EST

A3:allow Ss 2 express their feelings in multiple ways-allow them to draw. Share as much info as is appropriate. Involve Ps. #safeschoolschat

itsmeSpiri Feb 28 @ 3:34 PM EST

A3) Counselors, had local police join in, also tried co-teacher discuss in smaller group setting after initial meet #safeschoolschat

ESSCDiversity Feb 28 @ 3:34 PM EST

A3 Remaining calm on the outside I'd speak quietly, assuring them they are safe and will be home with family soon. #SafeSchoolsChat

A5 Looking at the positive side of it. If a crisis occurs and all are safe, great. No changes needed. #SafeSchoolsChat

JKatzaman Feb 28 @ 3:53 PM EST
