Description
Introduction Disasters, catastrophes, and emergencies can disrupt the postsecondary instructional delivery system. Different emergencies or events impact the learning environment in different ways. For example, a campus shooting may disrupt academic activities on an individual campus or within a particular building; a hurricane or pandemic has the potential to affect the broader community by interrupting public services, communications, and general business operations; and a widespread disaster may shut down a municipality or region causing postsecondary institutions to close. In any instance of disaster, catastrophe, or emergency, there is a concern for academic and instructional continuity. This concern is especially important for the postsecondary technical education classroom. The postsecondary technical setting of classrooms, laboratories, and clinical and field experiences provides a particularly challenging academic environment. Unlike K-12 schools, postsecondary class times and offerings vary, students are mobile and travel on and off campus at will, and general communication outside of the classroom can be challenging. The emphasis on demonstrated proficiency and skills attainment makes the postsecondary technical education offered at community colleges and technical schools particularly sensitive to a disruption. This setting warrants the need for strategies to ensure academic and instructional continuity.
