CardwellTeachMe Feb 21 @ 3:27 PM EST

My sped class did not drill effectively. Ss didn't cognitively get it but In crisis I would be prepared to move mountains. #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Feb 21 @ 3:29 PM EST

@CardwellTeachMe My principal and I have said that as well. We would just do whatever we have to when the time came. #safeschoolschat

ESSCDiversity Feb 21 @ 3:29 PM EST

@CardwellTeachMe Key would be to have support with you. I had a class of 5 once in Adapted P.E., had 3 adults during drill. #SafeSchoolsChat

bibbs_jennifer Feb 21 @ 3:30 PM EST

Burnsclassroom Feb 21 @ 3:33 PM EST

A3 groundwork for emotional support comes from the communication&preparation put forth before the crisis; knowingyourstaff #safeschoolschat
