Threat assessment and
management evolved from practices used to assess and manage potential risk of
violence. This K-12 school team training will help your school form or enhance
the team that will focus on identifying, assessing and managing the risk/threat
of violence posed by students, staff, and community members toward the school
community. Schools are encouraged to participate with a team of at least 4 members (e.g., administrators, faculty/staff, security or law enforcement
partner, and mental health partner). The purpose of threat assessment
teams are distinct from issues addressed by safety teams, student behavior
teams, and crisis response teams; though all of these school teams may be
implicated in strategies for monitoring and managing potential threats. Teams
will leave the workshop with sample protocols to adapt for use in their school
environment. The objectives for this two day training include:
1. Identify and use the principles of threat assessment and management in school settings
2. Demonstrate effective strategies for assessing risk
3. Formulate strategies for monitoring and managing risk
4. Describe effective threat assessment and management protocols appropriate for school settings
5. Apply principles of threat assessment and management to case examples
