This summary shares our learning in and from these spaces to center educator voice as our country contemplates creating the conditions and climates for our school crisis recovery to be possible.

In partnership with Youth MOVE National (YMN),3 the School Crisis Recovery & Renewal project4 hosted
listening sessions to hear directly from young adults (aged 18-24) who have experienced a crisis while in K-12
school environments. The following guide captures trends that emerged from the listening sessions about what is helpful and what is harmful during school crisis recovery and renewal.

The following guide is a capture of content presented during SCRR’s inaugural School Crisis Recovery & Renewal COVID Leadership Coaching Series. From March-May 2021, school teams from across the country gathered to move through four of the six trauma-informed systems
leadership competencies (Relational Leadership, Trauma-informed Communication,
Mindfulness & Reflection, and Radical Self-Inquiry & Critical Inquiry), examining each competency together to explore strategies and ways to be- before, during, and through crises.

While many school communities have resources, funding, and practices for the immediate aftermath and response to a crisis, too many lack resources to lead schools through the entire crisis continuum and integrate practices that support recovery, and ultimately renewal. The following guide captures content presented in SCRR’s Foundational Modules offered in 2020 providing introduction to the 10 pillars of recovery and renewal.
