5 LITERATURE REVIEW 2006 Conducted in 2006 of evidenced based practices, evidenced informed practices and expert consensus models utilizing PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar 5
6 NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL POLICY Teachers and school administrators can play a major role in the immediate recovery process by providing specific structured and semi-structured activities (NIMH, 2006) A coordinated response in the school community facilitates the healing process when responding to traumatic events, (United States Department of Education, 2006) Critical Need for emergency management planning to include recovery as a part of its process in the school based plan prior to an incident (USDOE, 2006) 6
7 LIKE IT OR NOT The reach of schools extends far beyond the borders of the classroom and contemporary schools play a critical role in the life of their communities Parents and others responsible for children often look to schools to keep children safe and to provide direction about how best to support them, especially in times of crisis

10 MISSION Tennessee Schools PREPARE is a program designed to develop and then disseminate information to school districts that will assist all schools in advancing and maturing the response and recovery portion of their emergency management plan. TSP is an ongoing dialogue with all stakeholders, an ecological process enabling Tennessee schools to respond to crises with effective, best practice interventions. COBB, LOVE, MARGOLIS, 2009
11 PROGRAM GOALS Tennessee schools will be prepared to offer students, staff, educators and parents immediate and effective assistance in the aftermath of a school crisis, with the goal of mitigating long term emotional suffering of survivors Crisis response plans will be realistic, useful, and accessible at the time of the emergency Tennessee school personnel will be empowered to train and develop crisis response team. (In house expertise) 11
12 WORKSHOP FORMAT Lecture Videos Manuals Group Discussion 12
13 LECTURE/MANUAL Leadership before a crisis What is in a postvention plan Restoring Community- First Day Back to School Counseling Skills Typical Trauma Reaction Building Resilience 13
14 LEADERSHIP BEFORE A CRISIS District Postvention team School Postvention team Principal Vice Principal Safety Officer Counselors, social workers, psychologists School nurse School secretary Other faculty or staff(teachers, janitor cafeteria worker) 14
15 O 15
16 UPDATED AND REALISTIC PLAN A live contact list must be kept bedside and in their car at all times Complete after hours telephone chain including numbers of district personnel and community support agencies 16
17 FACULTY/STAFF ISSUES MUST BE ADDRESSED Teachers Should Not Be Expected To Handle Distraught Children Without Adequate Help For Themselves!! 17
18 WHAT IS IN A POSTVENTION CRISIS PLAN? Complete after hours telephone chain including numbers of district personnel and community support agencies. (as mentioned above) Identification of Crisis team members. Identification of regional or district crisis team. Major crises may traumatize the in house Postvention team district personnel should be available to help with such emergencies. Identification of a Media Liaison Person
19 Identification of a Family Liaison Person To offer support to the effected family or families To liaison regarding funeral and memorial activities To help the family gather student s personal belongings in the event of a death To offer referrals as requested Suggestions for informing students of unexpected loss of life (fellow students, faculty, or staff) Suggestions for how to handle classroom discussions regarding the tragedy. Identification of a crisis center location with a telephone, manned all day by a member of the crisis team
20 Identification of rooms to be set aside for individual and group counseling A plan for calling in substitute teachers, and/or a plan to relieve teachers who will need additional time to grieve/debrief. In the event of a student death, a plan to have counselors follow the students schedule to provide extra support in those classrooms.
21 In the event of a student death, suggestions for how staff can best deal with the empty desk, empty locker phenomenon. Helpful suggestion principal to bring (or request crisis team member bring) individual flower stems to school, students can have an in class ritual of putting flowers on deceased student s desk, later they can be brought to family. (Also students can make paper flowers for a wreath for the locker, create a memory book for the family, cards for the family etc.)
22 Formulation of school policy on Funerals and In School memorials Each school needs to set a policy on funeral attendance Students and faculty may want to memorialize the death in some way on school premises. This may include rituals such as a moment of silence, planting a tree, dedicating a game or event in the person s memory etc. The policy on in school memorials can be developed with student leaders ideas to be considered include flying flag at half mass, year book memorials, special events dedicated to deceased student etc. Have consistency across situations where there is loss of life so as to not hurt or offend families Some Postvention plans will include sample letters that can be sent out to parents, other principals will prefer to run all communication through the media liaison and the district media consultant.
23 Postvention plans should articulate the need for before and after school all staff meetings. (if the nature of the crisis effects the whole school) Principals should require the staff to participate in these meetings because typically the most traumatized individuals will not seek out help Teachers and staff closest to the tragedy should be grouped separately and offered critical incident debriefing. For example, if one grade level is particularly effected, that grade level team should be given the opportunity to meet separately before school with a counselor or outside professional working specifically with them.
24 ONGOING PROGRAM DESIGN Four hour training District Consultation All day training/consultation Abbreviated training to target audience Telephone Consultation Facilitate development of postvention plan Develop scope of postvention response after a traumatic incident Emergency Assistance In person By telephone 24
