Mr. Moore’s experiences, perspectives and understanding of school safety is a valuable resource for any school leader when developing school safety plans. School principals are responsible for the safety of all students and staff on complex campuses and in a variety of potential circumstances. There is no curriculum in the teacher preparation or school leadership programs to prepare educators for safety planning or leading in an emergency. I was fortunate enough to start my leadership career in a district where school safety was a priority and Mr. Moore was a dedicated resource committed to partner with and support school leaders. Mr. Moore has an appreciation for the demands of the principalship as demonstrated by design of his book to include realistic scenarios and the format of a “quick reference guide” for future use.

Foreword
Practical Incident Management in K-12 Schools
My kids love to go to school. I can remember well their first days at school, our excitement of those few first experiences followed by literally hundreds of other firsts as they learned new ideas and concepts. My wife Annie and I were thrilled with their education and how well all three of them did in school. Like most good parents, we also worried about them.

Acknowledgments
Practical Incident Management in K-12 Schools
For more than a decade I have had the chance to work with literally hundreds of fantastic and hardworking school administrators around the country. Inevitably the discussion turned to emergency planning, my realm of expertise. What always impressed me was the desire that they all had to learn better ways to protect their students. It is the same zeal that they show for new techniques to teach...

Introduction
Practical Incident Management in K-12 Schools

In addition, there are sections that will help you to retain your newfound skillset as a successful incident manager.

    Practical Incident Management in K-12 Schools
    In the beginning there was … well … nothing. Unlike the big bang, there will not suddenly be a document there for you to use or reference in an emergency if one doesn’t already exist. It will just be a blank page. Now all you need is to find the right words to fill the blank page! So, let’s start planning what those words will be. That’s right; we are entering the...

    Now that you have a decent grasp of the emergency cycle, let’s begin getting a grasp on what incident command is and how we can master the skills necessary to protect our staff and students. First, let’s look at the history of incident command and what the benefits are.

    Practical Incident Management in K-12 Schools
    There are a multitude of other agencies that can become very useful to you during an incident. The time to get to know these resources and how to contact them is not the day of an incident, but during your work in the mitigation phase. As you look at what you need or could use during an incident, look at what others provide that may be useful. Remember it is not a bad idea to have a list of...

    11 - Communications
    Practical Incident Management in K-12 Schools
    One of the most overlooked yet important aspects of incident command is communication. Often the difference between a successful incident response and a difficult or even failed response rests with your ability to effectively communicate. Every aspect of the process involves communication, and it is well worth the effort to preplan how your team will address those communications.

    So the emergency is finished. The fire trucks and police cars are gone, and the parents and their children are at home. The emergency is over right? Wrong! In fact, the last phase of the cycle can very well be the longest and most tedious. Recovery is the act of returning everything in the school to normalcy (or as close as we can get to “normal” in schools!). That encompasses many...

    Practical Incident Management in K-12 Schools
    The beginning of every shift for the fire or police department anywhere around the world starts with a roll call. It is where critical information about public safety is provided to the police officers and firefighters who are tasked with protecting our lives during their turn on the watch. Normally as educators you may start your day thinking about the next state testing cycle or where you are in...

    Anyone who writes books about school safety in this day and age must unfortunately include information about how to prepare yourself and your staff for the possibility of violence in or around your school. While it is a sad commentary on our society that the term “active shooter” has become a frequently heard phrase on the news involving students in schools, it is a reality and we...
