Comprehensive School Threat Assessment Guidelines (CSTAG) Level 1 Workshop Opportunity
Comprehensive School Threat Assessment Guidelines (CSTAG) is a school violence prevention program. Training consists of two (2) levels and both levels must be completed by all administrators and is recommended for school threat assessment team members.
Structure: The CSTAG Level 1 training consists of six (6) hour web-based training from Navigate360.
Target Audience: In addition to administrators, this workshop will benefit teachers, mental health clinicians, school psychologists, school resources officers, and counselors, or any school employee who serves on the school’s threat assessment multidisciplinary team.
Content: CSTAG level 1 can assist in developing an awareness of threat assessments and use of the CSTAG model at your school. Here are specific descriptions of the six modules that will be taught in the training.
Why: This workshop will increase awareness about school violence prevention, provide procedures/methodology for determining threat levels, assist in determining responses to threats, and will give your school trained educators to include on a threat assessment team.
Registration: If you are interested in having any staff trained in CSTAG Level 1, please direct them to complete this form. Student services will be funding the tuition for each participant as long as they are registered by the end of this school year. Once registered, the participant will receive an email with information about how to access the training. Those who complete level 1 before June 9th can then register for CSTAG Level 2.
