We Know How!

In a recent NBC report, Dr. Dewey Cornell and Dr. Matthew Mayer explain that we know HOW to prevent school shootings. They tell us that the most promising means of prevention is through the use of behavioral threat assessment and intervention teams. Most importantly, they make a compelling case backed by research, to put politics aside and focus on assessment and intervention.

Behavioral Threat Assessment

Threat assessments are designed to help schools channel assistance to students with unresolved grievances or other mental health needs, without overreacting to threats that are not serious. To work properly, the assessment process must gather information from multiple sources and consider the context and intent of the student’s statements. In the vast majority of cases, a student’s threatening statement does not pose a serious risk of violence and, as a result, can be resolved with counseling and education.

According to the Experts…

In nearly every instance, students who committed attacks had already come to the attention of adults who were concerned about their well-being.

Were you the one picked to get the 411 on available BTA software to bring back to your team? If you were, here are 7 highlights behavioral threat assessment software your team may want to know about:

  1. Keeping this kind of information by hand, on paper, is so 1985 and dangerous!! Risk cannot be kept in a desk drawer…
  1. You’re on the behavioral threat assessment team and a teacher. How are you supposed to know what the SRO (police) is doing?  This is the way to communicate effectively. 
  1. This is a browser-based utility, so your team can access all information, any time day or night… from your phone, your laptop, whatever you got, cuz nothin’ ever happens at a convenient time.  You’ll be in the loop, no matter what.
  1. We got Analytics! Like when the Superintendent calls and says, “BTW, I’m on my way to a board meeting, how many behavioral threat assessments have we done to date?” Yikes, but wait… you have the answer, pronto! With charts and graphs! 
  1. Early Warnings: How about getting an email every Monday morning listing who has had 4 or more assessments over the past 180 days? Or which schools in your District have had 10 or more assessments in the last week?
  1. Accountability: We track the team assignments. Who was supposed to call to make sure a student went to anger-management classes? Did they do it?  Was someone on vacation? Who will take the responsibility to follow up?
  1. Complete Case Management: Dates, times, tasks, interventions, outcomes, pix, pdf docs…the whole thing. Right there at your fingertips.

There it is, just hit copy and print. Now, get to your meeting. lol
