In today's educational landscape, ensuring the safety and well-being of students and staff is paramount. This session will delve into the comprehensive development and implementation of a Crisis Response Team (CRT) within a PreK-8th grade elementary school district. Led by experts in educational leadership and crisis intervention — including a Director of Student Services with experience in educational leadership, overseeing the implementation of crisis response protocols and fostering a safe school environment, and a Special Education Program Coordinator, a former school psychologist with extensive experience in crisis intervention and support services for students, bringing a deep understanding of psychological aspects in crisis management — this session will equip participants with practical strategies to establish, enhance, and sustain a CRT that effectively manages crises, fosters a safe environment, and builds resilience within the school community.
