Teacher Emergency Kits: The Ultimate Back to School Gift
We all know teachers love their students and are dedicated to making the world a better place, but even the most seasoned teacher will tell you that classroom life is not always easy. There are countless situations that can throw off a lesson plan or put the kibosh on an entire day — spilled coffee, a kid with an uncontrollable nosebleed, that unexpected rain storm and more. In these times of need, a Teacher Emergency Kits is a great lifesaver and can make the difference between a minor inconvenience and an outright disaster.
Equipping Educators: The Importance of Teacher Emergency Kits
Creating an evacuation-ready classroom with a teacher emergency kit is just one way campuses across the country are keeping their staff, students and teachers safe — especially during these challenging times of mass shootings and natural disasters. The kit is similar to the kits people prepare for home disasters, but it contains additional supplies, such as bottled water, first aid items and blankets — essential tools in an emergency situation when school may need to be evacuated quickly.
While these kits are not meant for long-term use, they are a great tool for teachers to have on hand during a crisis or emergency situation in which their classroom needs to be vacated — and they can be easily updated. This is a thoughtful gift for your favorite teacher, whether it’s a former teacher, colleague, student teacher or new teacher at your child’s school.
