The 2016 Governor's Statewide School Safety Training Conference will be held on December 8, 2016 at Vermont Technical College.
Due to the overwhelming success of last year's training conference, the 2016 Governor's Statewide School Safety Training Conference will be a second offering of the SIGMA threat assessment training and certification. Therefore, only participants that did NOT attend the 2015 training conference should register for the 2016 training conference.
The 2016 conference features the VSBIT sponsored behavioral threat assessment training provided by SIGMA Threat Management Associates. This all day conference is for public and independent schools focused on preventing school violence by providing a comprehensive training curriculum for those individuals that will actively participate in local school, district or supervisory union threat assessment teams. Those attending will receive a certificate of completion from SIGMA Threat Management Associates who are national thought leaders in assessing school threat/risk based behaviors that can potentially have a negative impact on our schools. School administrators are strongly encouraged to take a "team" approach to this training by sending those members within the school, district or supervisory union who are designated or will be designated to conduct these types of assessments. Team members may include guidance counselors, school nurses, school mental health resources, school crisis planning team members, law enforcement, school administrative staff and other professionals who may provide insight into the threat assessment process.
"Understanding threat assessment serves a vital role in maintaining a safe learning environment. The ability to recognize, identify, mitigate, and ultimately--prevent violent acts from occurring goes to the heart of establishing an effective school safety culture. School administrators, nurses, counselors, mental health providers and other school safety personnel are encouraged to attend this important training."
