Ideas? Ways teachers help students re-orient after shooter drills?

Lisa A SilverbergMember

I am concerned about the quick transitions students and teachers make between simulating a "shooter in the building drill," and resuming class instruction. I think guidance is being given to elementary school teachers about how to care for younger kids, but teens, who understand exactly what they are doing and have seen school tragedies on their phones are expected to just crawl out from a closet and resume instruction without letting go of the fear that must come up in these drills. Wondering if anyone has had success with both making the case for a short, somatic intervention, and/or has practices they are using?

Thanks.
