Crisis intervention materials designed specifically for classroom teachers are still scarce, and their role in crisis prevention and intervention continues to be one for which teachers must take the initiative to educate themselves. With updates in crisis intervention programming and legislation; integration of recent research on school shootings and other forms of school violence; and the addition of such topics as cyberbullying, relational aggression, and the needs of military families, this second edition of Crisis Prevention and Intervention in the Classroom further widens teachers' perspectives on school crises and puts them in a better position to prevent and cope with these events.
Schools are among the safest places in America, however, every year our school children are affected by stressful events. Whether there is war in another country or death in the schoolyard, these events can interfere with learning and may have long-term effects on children and communities. Crisis Prevention and Intervention in the Classroom will help teachers avoid, prepare for, and manage school crises. Because of their education, experience with children, and community awareness, teachers are in a special position to help children understand and learn effective ways to cope with trauma. With appropriate guidance, they can observe signs indicating a student's need for more intense intervention for suicide, aggression, or depression.
