RAVE REVIEWS
"Cheri remains a true inspiration to all of us that deal with crises! I've heard her speak a couple times now and her wisdom and way with words continue to amaze me! Just last week, we had an incident where a little boy was hit by a car. We had students who witnessed the event as well as students in the car that hit the little boy. The first thing I did was pull out my materials from Cheri, realizing that some of these kids were dealing with trauma and not grief. Please continue to do what you are doing and get this information out to everyone!
Thank you!" --Tina More from our clients

Scenarios
The Scenarios are drills that a few key people run during the school day without interrupting the learning process. These are about peace of mind and preparedness for the administrator and staff of any building!
Much better than table-tops, which never iron out all of the unexpected communications problems, these are designed to be run using an iPad, tablet, smart phone or similar device. The scenario details unfold in real time (provided your building has a wireless network). This allows the principal to approach the crisis site while dispatching other people on the team to the areas of the building where responders will be needed. Actually moving through the building allows the administrator to immediately identify shortcomings in the system. For example - realizing that s/he realize doesn't have the custodian's cell phone programmed into his/her cell contacts list; or that the front parking lot really won't work as a command post because it is the only dead spot on campus for cell phones. These are real time exercises that give real world results and are tailored to work particularly well in instances that don't allow all participants the opportunity to meet and discuss the necessary response.
The day before the drill is to take place, an administrator will download the information that "sets the stage" so s/he knows what time this particular circumstance is to take place and, if necessary for the drill, in what location. For instance, if the drill is to test your communications during passing period, lunch, during loading of busses or on a field trip, that needs to be known so the drill will be run when deficiencies can be uncovered.
This is one of the most creative resources we've designed! This is about peace of mind. As administrators, there is nothing more helpful than knowing that you have tested your systems and, heaven forbid you need them, you are as prepared as possible to put those systems into action. Nine different scenarios provided each year. This program can save lives, and for less than the cost of one single football helmet for just one player on your team!
For district site licenses, enter number of schools in "quantity." For large districts or purchases through ESDs, BOCES or other educational consortiums, this will assure the group discounts.
