School safety starts with discernment and prevention—the ability to identify concerning behaviors, prevent escalation, and respond with effective, research-based strategies.

In this webinar, Dr. Dewey Cornell, the creator of the Comprehensive School Threat Assessment Guidelines (CSTAG), discussed how schools can use evidence-based threat assessment strategies alongside a proactive, tiered support system to surface and address student needs effectively, resulting in safer schools.

This session covered:

• Key principles of the CSTAG and their role in promoting school safety.
• How a system of supports provides early identification and intervention for students displaying concerning behaviors.
• Practical strategies for implementing a collaborative, data-driven approach to behavioral support using the CSTAG.

This webinar is intended for K-12 school and district leaders; school counselors, school psychologists, and social workers; MTSS leaders; behavior analysts and interventionists; school resource officers; and others interested in behavior and/or threat assessment, and safer schools.
