The Resources that K-12 Leaders Need
K-12 BTAM Standards
To support the overall safety and well-being of school communities, the National Association for Behavioral Intervention and Threat Assessment (NABITA) provides school-based behavioral threat assessment and management standards as proactive best practices for K-12 schools and districts.
K-12 Risk Rubric
Since its launch in 2009, the Risk Rubric has revolutionized how teams assess and respond to concerning behaviors. This latest revision sets a new standard in guiding consistent, research-driven decisions with improved clarity, enhanced precision, and sharper risk level descriptors.
K-12 20 Minutes to…Trained
Each 20-Minutes-to…Trained module averages 20 minutes in length. This gives the ability to plan modular sessions based on the topics you want to prioritize, or to allow users to take all topics over time, but in bite-sized sections of information.
