While there is no single roadmap to help a school survive a crisis, Myra McGovern, vice president of media at NAIS suggests that adopting key mindsets—being adaptable, empathic, and resilient—and using the school’s mission and core values to guide decision-making, caring for others and oneself, and building learning into the process, can help school leaders and the community weather any storm. Myra also adds that understanding the crisis life cycle can also help.
