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.
