CERTIFICATION TRAINING:
ASSESSMENT OF EARLY WARNING SIGNS IN AT-RISK STUDENTS
December 7,2001 - Whittington, IL.
Sponsored by: ROE #12
DESCRIPTION: Certifies attendees in the use of the Keys To Safe Schools.com Assessment Tool. Schools are awarded a License to Reproduce the Tool for their staff who attend. The training is based on National Level research by the Department of Education, Office of Juvenile Justice, the FBI, the Secret Service and others. It looks at "Why" we miss these students and "What" we can do to identify them. There is an emphasis on identification and assessment of early warning signs in troubled youth. It provides schools a Risk Assessment Team Model as outlined in the Columbine Review Commission Report. It requires minimum time to put in place and effectively identifies students who may need help. But schools should not stop with training Assessment Teams but take the next step and provide an in-service for ALL staff in identification of Early Warning Signs.
