SUBJECT:
Comprehensive School Threat Assessment Guidelines (CSTAG) Training
CSTAG training provides a critical foundation for successful threat assessment responses to ensure a climate of safety, respect, and support for students and staff. Through a restorative/social-emotional foundation this training will provide the processes and tools to help keep our schools safe. CSTAG training is conducted in two (2) levels – Level 1 & Level 2.
CSTAG Level 1 training is provided online and is highly interactive. Level 1 training will take about eight (8) hours to complete and is designed to be completed in sections or segments of time and remembers where you left off at any given point. The training may be completed in one sitting as well.
- Student Services will enroll every school level administrator that did not completed the CSTAG Level 1 training this last winter (2020-2021 school year).
- You will receive a username/password from NAVIGATE360 via your district email account after you are enrolled (in the next week or so). You must have the email invitation in order to begin the training. If you do not receive an email from NAVIGATE360 in the next five (5) to eight (8) school days please let Travis know @ hamblin@jordandistrict.org.
- Every school will receive a CSTAG Level 1 manual later this fall.
- Principals may include other staff members (counselors, team leads, specialists, etc.). Any additional Level 1 trainings (beyond the administrator(s)) must be paid by the school ($85 each). (Contact Travis in Student Services)
- All school level administrators will need to complete the Level 1 training prior to the Annual Administrators Conference August 4, 2021.
CSTAG Level 2 training is an in-person training. Multiple opportunities will be provided for you to attend. Dates and times for the Level 2 training will be communicated in the next couple of weeks.
Should you have any questions please contact Travis in Student Services (801.567.8439) or travis.hamblin@jordandistrict.org.
