Intermediate School Behavioral Threat Assessment Manual Training

In-Person Training Virtual Training

This course is part of the School Behavioral Threat Assessment (SBTA) Series.

This full-day work session is geared towards district staff responsible for ensuring the operationalizing of school behavioral threat assessment programming within their district. Participants will review the newly created Texas School Safety Center (TxSSC) model SBTA Manual. The review will include an examination of TxSSC created templates and completed exemplars. Each session module will provide many opportunities for group discussion about your current SBTA practices, and planning time to map what system and process improvements you will engage in when you return to your district.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to use the Texas School Safety Center's SBTA Manual to operationalize team procedures to ensure consistency across the district and schools.
