This course was previously called K-12 Standards and Best Practices.
This one-day certification course provides a comprehensive introduction to the NABITA Standards for School-Based Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management in K-12 Education. It is designed to support schools in implementing proactive strategies that enhance student safety and well-being. The NABITA standards address the growing needs of schools, offering best practices for receiving and managing referrals of concerning behavior, conducting comprehensive assessments, and deploying effective interventions. Participants will learn how to build multidisciplinary teams, assess risk, and develop policies and procedures that guide threat assessment and management processes.
The course covers the importance of educating the broader school community on BTAM processes and building a culture of reporting. Schools will learn how to track and document BTAM activities, analyze data trends, and conduct periodic reviews of their threat assessment and management efforts to ensure ongoing program effectiveness.
NABITA’s expert faculty recognize that each process and school is unique. The NABITA Standards present a flexible framework for holistic behavioral threat assessment and management, enabling participants to adapt and apply the knowledge and tools presented in the NABITA standards within their unique school environments.
Attendees will benefit from interactive case studies and ample time for discussion, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the critical elements of BTAM work and how the work can improve student well-being and school safety.
