Our Threat Assessment in Schools course provides guidance on a wide spectrum of issues related to the threat-assessment process. We’ll discuss how to develop, operate, and manage a threat-assessment strategy by using the Salem-Keizer System Threat Assessment as a model. This course also delves into additional issues that school districts are having to deal with – domestic violence, teen dating, and stalking. By developing a strategic threat-assessment process, you’ll be able to provide appropriate services to those involved in your classroom and school district. 

After completing this course, you should be able to:

  • Recognize types of potential threats in the classroom
  • Identify systems, team dynamics, and applications of student threat assessments
  • Recall types of violence, security, and behavioral issues on school campuses
  • Describe aspects of expansive system implementation
