National Education Association, National Education Association. When crisis strikes, the daily lessons imparted in classrooms and on school grounds across the nation take on even more importance. In addition to academic subjects, our children learn respect and resilience and feel the daily embrace of school staff’s love and care. As educators, we are committed to keeping schools safe and supporting children and their families. That is why we developed this easy-to-use crisis guide, created by educators for educators. This publication is a shorter version of the more comprehensive online guide, which includes tools, templates and case studies.
