Abstract
Active shooter incidents in K-12 schools pose a significant threat to schools throughout the country. Presently, there is a gap in the existing literature regarding the readiness of Catholic secondary school teachers for active shooter scenarios, particularly in terms of assessing their self-efficacy levels for such incidents. The purpose of this qualitative descriptive embedded case study was to determine Catholic secondary school teachers’ sources of self-efficacy in responding to active shooter incidents and to explore how those sources of self-efficacy contributed to teachers’ active shooter preparedness. The aim of this study was to explore the sources of teachers' self-efficacy in responding to active shooter incidents and how they would apply that self-efficacy to implement their school's active shooter plan.
