Effective School Leadership: Threat Assessment In Schools
Our entire country has been plagued by school violence and potential school shootings for a number of years. Many politicians, law enforcement personnel, and school officials have grappled with this problem generating potential solutions, and changes to the law, and attempting to figure out how to stop the violence.
One of the key components of being able to stop potential school violence is the use of “Threat Assessment”. Every effective school leader should have a Threat Assessment team at his or her school led by the principal. The research for this concept was done in 2002 by the US Secret Service and the US Department of Education. Their insights provide effective educators with real potential solutions to this problem that are summarized in this informative seminar.
We all need to look at this issue carefully, train our fellow educators, and stop the next potential perpetrator from doing harm to children.

A lot of work went into the creation of this course and the content is on point.
I feel that as a principal, I’ve been blessed to have the opportunity to see first-hand how effective a school leader is. I’ve worked with some great principals, but I’ve also had some who have been struggling for some time. I’ve had the privilege of working with some great leaders and have learned a great deal from them. It has been my experience that the best leaders are the ones who are able to improve and change their own leadership style. This course has been a great
Every school administrator should take this course. Excellent information and well presented! Districts need to do all they can to keep our students safe, and that start with being knowledge about threats to our schools and how to best prevent and prepare for them.
