About The Elephant In The Room: A Lockdown Story
"How do I teach my students a lockdown drill without fear?" As a kindergarten teacher I struggled with teaching my students the procedures of a lockdown drill. I knew they needed to react quickly and quietly, but I worried about frightening them. Being prepared is essential, but it wasn't necessary to put terrifying images into their minds for them to take the drills seriously. I became frustrated at the lack of materials available that would protect my students from being traumatized by the implications of a lockdown drill. As a teacher, that reality was difficult enough, but it felt wrong to place that emotional burden on my students. I decided to write my own lockdown story. It worked like a charm! My story created a sense of urgency, without creating a sense of fear.
