You Don't Know What You Don't Know: Choices for School Administrators When Crisis Hits
Low, Lori L.
Educational Leadership and Administration: Teaching and Program Development, v20 p101-108 2008
School leaders carry great responsibility when a crisis occurs. Understanding the significance and use of school crisis teams is vitally important and often unknowingly overlooked. This article examines the crucial role of school leaders when a crisis event occurs. Through combining existing research, case vignettes of actual events, and interviews with leaders, it is hoped that the gap between the unknown and the known is decreased and potential choices are increased.
