This toolkit was developed to assist principals in structuring their thinking about the return to school, in whatever form it takes. It offers tools and tip sheets, the context for using them, and suggestions for actions principals might consider. The toolkit is organized around four sections: (1) Change (staying current in understanding changes from the outside (states, Federal Government, school boards, districts, community organizations, and for schools located in tribal communities, their tribes) and taking the changes into account when planning); (2) Communication (planning how to welcome back students, families, teachers, and staff, whether in person or by other means); (3) Collaboration (engaging teachers, staff, families, and students, vested stakeholders and community groups in preparation for the return to school); and (4) Care (addressing common fears and anxieties, addressing the needs of students experiencing chronic stress and trauma, preparing personnel to meet various student needs, and preparing social service agencies for work with school personnel, students, and families). [This toolkit is based on the toolkit developed for the Principal Leadership Academy (PLA) at the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), supported by the Region 13 Comprehensive Center. It was prepared with the assistance of the Systemic Technical Assistance Team (STAT) project at the National Comprehensive Center. Cover title varies: "Returning to School Toolkit for Principals."]
