School Crisis Case Studies cover

To prepare educators for crises in their schools, Helen Sharp presents specific cases in K-12 school settings that require urgent solutions. She also explains control procedures and offers strategies for resuming normal school function. The wide range of crisis events presented in School Crisis Case Studies will prompt feedback, elicit comments and suggestions, and allow current and future educators to reflect on necessary containment strategies.

For school leaders, Sharp provides 31 case studies of situations that occur in K-12 settings, with application questions at the end of each. They relate to addiction to computer games, alcohol, bomb threats, bullying, conflict resolution, dropouts, gangs, drug use, gay bashing, guns, homework, overachievers, sports parents, suicide, truancy, and other problems. -- Reference & Research Book News August 2007
After reading Ms. Sharp's book, I found it useful for potential school leaders and current administrators. The case studies are timely and allow administrators to pinpoint their school resources in response to crisis events. -- Andre C. Smith, principal, Wake Forest-Rolesville High School, North Carolina
