Description: Participants will be trained in the Comprehensive School Threat Assessment Guidelines (formerly known as VSTAG: The Virginia Student Threat Assessment Guidelines). This is an evidence-based model for K-12 schools developed by Dr. Dewey Cornell at the University of Virginia in 2001. In this model, school staff members are encouraged to adopt a flexible, problem-solving approach, as distinguished form a more punitive, zero tolerance approach to student misbehavior. The model is intended to generate broader changes in the nature of staff-student interactions around disciplinary matters and to encourage a more positive school climate in which students feel treated with fairness and respect. This model follows a five-step decision-tree that includes triage, determination if a threat is transient or substantive, and a mental health assessment and safety evaluation that includes law enforcement if needed. The culmination of the threat assessment is the development of a safety plan that is designed to address the problem or conflict underlying the threat and prevent the act of violence from taking place.
