The purpose of this study was to clarify teachers’ actual experiences of encountering school crises and to examine how to prepare for future school crises. Cooperation for the survey was obtained from City B, and among the 2,887 teachers in City B who were analyzed, 994 teachers (34.4%) had experienced some form of school crisis, and that it is not uncommon for teachers to encounter school crises. About half of the teachers who experienced a crisis received support from the clinical psychologist team, but the proportion of cases that received support from the clinical psychologist team varied by case, and the proportion of support from the clinical psychologist team was large for the suicides of children.
Nearly 90% of the teachers reported that they had received some kind of school crisis response training, but the content of this training was unknown. Since encounters with school crises are not rare, it is necessary to examine teachers’ experiences of school crisis encounters in detail in the future, and to establish systematic training programs appropriate to their positions and cases in order to strengthen preparedness.
