Preventing The Next School Shooting: How To Protect Your Community Through Assessment, Intervention & Planning
On-Demand Training
Challenge - Preventing campus attacks
How to assess, intervene and hopefully prevent a school shooting through the timely, consistent, and effective identification of risk and protective factors observable by the larger community.
Key Takeaway
Participants will learn how to effectively prevent school shootings through a research-based, effective approach to threat assessment built upon multi-disciplinary, collaborative teams that identify, assess, and manage risk before an attack. While no one can predict when the next attack will occur, there is important and timely research on preventing these attacks by addressing behaviors through early intervention and the threat management approach.
Overview
During the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw a national drop in the number of school shootings and mass violence. The decline was close to zero events and gave many educators, counselors, and threat assessment experts a hopeful moment that the epidemic of violence that we have seen growing into a crescendo in 2019 was potentially concluding. As the pandemic situation improved with increased vaccinations in the spring of 2021, there was a short-lived hope that the violence would not return. Sadly, this was not to be the case. Instead, shootings came back with a vengeance, and we are, once again, attempting to stem the tide of these attacks.
Dr. Van Brunt, author of over a dozen books on BIT, CARE, and threat assessment and creator of several threat assessment measures, and Dr. Amy Murphy will discuss best practices for reducing school shootings through a collaborative, multi-disciplinary threat assessment process. By developing and managing a continuous threat assessment approach, risk behaviors are identified before an attack, and the parallel application of scaffolding designed to support and anchor potential attackers from their escalation.
Objectives
- Define how an integrated CARE and Threat team operates based on best practices from the FBI and National Threat Assessment Center.
- Describe the core elements of a violence risk/threat assessment and work with law enforcement to reduce siloed communication and ensure early identification and the development of a successful management plan.
- Examine common types of behaviors from mental illness, threats, classroom disruptions, political strikes, social justice action, and protests.
- Learn how the importance of documentation as it relates to the CARE and threat team process to ensure legal risk mitigation.
- Learn how to work more effectively with law enforcement, fusion centers, FBI, homeland security, school resources officers, and sworn and non-sworn campus law enforcement.
- Administration
- Campus conduct
- Residential life
- Faculty
- Human Resources
- Student Services/Affairs
- Law Enforcement
- BIT/CARE teams
Preventing violence is about early identification, research-informed assessments with a clearly defined purpose, and building connection and increasing resiliency, social connections and positive influences in the student’s life. CARE and threat teams have been successful in this work and preventing violence in the higher education setting.

Funding is a little tight, how many workshops can I get for $XX?
You can buy the entire StudentLingo package (50 workshops) or we offer several a la carte options. Unlike a lot of other software companies, we don’t charge per user, so we can work with any budget. We recommend talking to other departments on campus to increase your purchasing power and to share the cost. Also, we do have a pay model whereby students pay directly.

This is a feature of our platform, but comes at an additional cost. With the admin view, you get access to more advanced reporting, and you have it in real time. With the standard membership, you get monthly reports.
How have other schools leveraged reporting?
- One of our partners, College of Southern Nevada, used StudentLingo to measure learning outcomes. in a study, one class had access to StudentLingo and the other cohort did not. 92% of the cohort with access to StudentLingo earned a whole letter grade higher than the cohort without StudentLingo.
- A lot of our partners use the data to justify funding for grants, operating dollars, or for new program development.
- The evaluation data is particularly useful in identifying what type of learning students prefer and the qualitative takeaways from viewing the workshop.
- Some of our partners use the data to connect with their student information system, like Banner or Peoplesoft.
- I think a great way to get started on how you want to use the data is to ask yourself some questions:
- How will I know if StudentLingo was successful?
- What do I hope students will gain from access to StudentLingo?
- What data is important for me to know in order to show that StudentLingo is a worthwhile purchase?
