Under My Desk, Newspaper over My Head, Waiting for a Flash and a Big Bang -- Thoughts from a Teacher
My first responsibility as an educator is to make sure my students are safe at all times. This includes managing the classroom climate, modifying lesson plans for students, and knowing them, as well as the culture they are a part of. This is a huge undertaking. It also includes keeping them safe during an active shooting episode.
