SUBJECT: CSTAG Updates


Please review the following information regarding CSTAG training opportunities, including the brief training video:

CSTAG training consists of two (2) training levels, and both levels must be completed by all administrators and threat assessment team members. CSTAG Level 2 training is for all who have completed the Level 1 training (the web-based training from Navigate360). Level 2 training builds upon your knowledge of threat assessment by providing practical application and implementation of the CSTAG process in your school. Administrators are invited to repeat CSTAG Level 2 for a practical refresher of CSTAG protocols.

Virtual CSTAG Level Two Training:
Wednesday, January 28th (ZOOM)
Use the link to register and the zoom link will be emailed the day before.

CSTAG Level One Training:
If you want to train a staff member or threat assessment team member in CSTAG level 1, please email the request with the person’s name, title, and email address to Angie Rasmussen (angie.rasmussen@jordandistrict.org). CSTAG Level 1 is web-based through Navigate 360, and the training costs $100 per person. A request for reimbursement will be sent to the school after the staff member has been added.

CSTAG Mini-training Video: CSTAG Tips- Understanding the Decision Tree

This brief, targeted training video is designed to provide all threat assessment team members with the knowledge and skills necessary to use the decision tree to aid in assessing and responding to threats. This is the second mini-training video; each is under 5 minutes in duration and will review important components of CSTAG.

CSTAG information, documents, and fillable forms are available online here. Additionally, a survey tool to assist with the assessment and documentation of a threat assessment is available on this webpage. It is recommended that you bookmark or create a desktop link to these resources.
