K-12 Risk Rubric

Monday, December 1 | 10:00am-5:00pm ET

This one-day certification course is designed to equip educators and school administrators with a standardized approach to risk assessment. Through interactive instruction and practical case studies, participants will gain a deep understanding of the NABITA K-12 Risk Rubric, facilitating the development of accurate risk assessments and effective interventions for K-12 students.

A risk rubric serves as a comprehensive tool to evaluate any risk a student might face. Students face a variety of risks in K-12 settings, including life-altering events, social difficulties, bullying, and emotional and mental health concerns. NABITA’s Risk Rubric provides an objective and quantifiable tool that can gauge the severity and nature of these risks and an individual’s propensity to violence or self-harm.

K-12 Structured Interview for Violence Risk Assessment (SIVRA)

Tuesday, December 2-Wednesday, December 3 | 10:00am-5:00pm ET

Originally developed in 2012, the current version of SIVRA taught in this course is an enhanced version featuring a refined assessment system focusing on 21 risk factors for violence, grounded in the most recent research. It includes an improved user guide, along with supplemental materials such as an interview template and suggested interview questions. Users familiar with the previous SIVRA-35 will find the new tool better organized, with clearer descriptions of risk factors and easier scoring.

This two-day certification course provides in-depth training on using the SIVRA tool in K-12 settings. Participants will learn how to conduct an effective interview and gather information to evaluate an individual’s risk of harm to others using the SIVRA. Additionally, they will practice applying the SIVRA to videos demonstrating violence risk assessment interviews. NABITA’s expert faculty members will also discuss strategies for assessing credibility, how to phrase questions to probe for specific risk and protective factors, and how to gather information from collateral sources.
