Assessment of the Potentially Dangerous Student)

 

This training is based on National Research and a must training for those that work with children, adolescents and young adults.  It is a "practical" training that teaches how to recognize anger, manage anger and de-escalate volatile situations in the classroom. It provides physical and non-physical means to stop or break up a fight with minimal risk to all involved.

Bauxite School, AR 1/6/01 - Do you have a crisis plan or have you exercised your crisis plan lately?

The focus of this workshop is to produce a Crisis Action/Response Manual for the school district.  Community Agencies, parents, and school personnel are brought together in the development of the Crisis Action/Response Manual along with School Site Specific Plan for each school in the district.  Do you have a crisis plan or have you exercised your crisis plan lately?

First Responders Workshop - A Component of Risk Assessment Teams.  Do you have a crisis plan or have you exercised your crisis plan lately?

First Responders Workshop

A Component of Risk Assessment Teams

Audience: Law Enforcement agencies, School Resource Officers, Fire Rescue, Emergency Services, Emergency Medical Technicians, Hospital ER staff, Clergy, PTA/PTO leaders, community volunteers and school officials.

Objective: To produce a coordinated response plan, unique to each school but uniform in procedure, so that all efforts at the onset of a crisis can be focused on resolving the crisis.

This workshop will highlight the uniqueness of each of the schools within the designated district, county or other boundary and identify areas in their crisis planning that can be made uniform. The schools will identify ways that they can be a resource for each other in the event of a crisis. Schools should insure that law enforcement and Fire Rescue have updated maps of every campus and floor plans of every building. Law enforcement agencies will discuss jurisdiction and roles in a variety of scenarios. There will be an open discussion of Responsibility and Authority. Medical personnel will discuss on site triage, mass casualty procedures and air evacuation requirements. The concept of Command Post operations will be presented. This is an overview version of "School Violence Readiness Training" It is designed to assist schools and first responders in implementing the procedures covered in the full training or in other Crisis Training that schools may have had. This training is interactive. Those who already have a Crisis Plan, should bring it with them to be incorporated into the training. Other areas that may be covered (which can be tailored to specific school needs) are Dress Code Issues, Visitors Policies, Student ID's, How Students can conceal weapons, Setting District wide Crisis Response Codes & Procedures, When to Evaluate and When not to Evacuate, Bomb Threat Procedures, Traffic Control and more....

Bullying
BULLYING STOPS when RESPECT BEGINS

Learn about Train-The-Trainer Workshop

 

School students have reported an increase in bullying with severe consequences to themselves and their schools. As if this were not enough, bullying has been identified in a national study as a factor in the recent school shootings. At Columbine  a group of school athletes bullied the two boys who later became shooters. Almost any group in anyone's school could be the "bullies" and and it would be accurate at some point in time. Bullying can be physical, emotional or social. Keys' Bullying Program offers four modules to fully address the different aspects of this complex issue.  These are: 

    1. The Victim: How to handle being bullied by a peer.

    2. The Bully: How to identify the need for bullying and better ways to meet that need.

    3. The School: How to deal with both sides of bullying in a productive manner.

    4. The Parent: How to recognize signs that your child is being bullied, how to help your child cope with bullies and how to interact with the school about a bullying situation.

Training is available for Teachers and School Administrators dealing with bullying and developing effective policies on bullying.   Keys can assist your school with Parenting Training and the development of Support groups on recognizing and dealing with bullying.  Keys also offers General Assemblies to address the student body, and the curriculum for Conflict Resolution and Socializing skills for victims & bullies.

GOAL ATTAINMENT SCALING (G.A.S.)
Development of an Evaluation Program for Grants

Evaluating Program Effectiveness by Goal Attainment Scaling--
A Quantitative Method for Evaluating Attainment of Multiple Goals.

This training is a didactic block of instruction followed by a workshop session in practical use of the G.A.S. method. This training will enable administrators, principals, counselors, program managers and evaluators to simultaneously rate the effectiveness of a program (like; (PBIS) Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports ) by generating rating system. Scores from this system will provide a measure of the overall effectiveness of the program.

In programs that intend to reduce violence in schools or increase positive behaviors, G.A.S. methods can generate rating scores on how successful the program has been on reducing the numbers or proportions of violent incidents of several types (e.g., bullying, verbal attacks, physical assaults, incidents involving weapons, etc.). G.A.S. methods can also be used to rate the success of programs to change attitudes that are relevant to school violence.

Follow on Training: This training can be supplemented by a contract for a Keys Consultant to assist G.A.S. method users in selecting, defining, measuring, and weighting goals, and in ongoing use of the method to track goal attainment over extended periods of time.

 

 

This training is presented with today’s schools and students in mind; however, it applies to anyone who routinely finds himself or herself in conflict with another person. Those who attend this training will learn:

  • Why there is conflict; its root causes; that it can be good or bad.

  • How to identify someone style of handling conflict

  • Different ways that people handle conflict

  • Techniques for solving our own conflicts

  • How to find help with conflicts from peers; from outside mediators

There will be practical exercises during the training that will guide the participants through techniques that can be taken back to the classroom or workplace and passed on to students and/or peers.

Behavioral Management of Section 504 & Special Ed Students

 

This training will focus on Section 504 of the IDEA and Special Education Students.  The training will deal with aspects surrounding management of students exhibiting behavioral or severe behavioral issues and then how to serve that student.  The training relies on  the Positive Behavioral Support approach to managing severe behavior.  We will look at;

Critical Diagnostic Information

It is imperative that the Administrative team and others have specific information in advance of any incidents.  This is critical in effecting positive change and ensuring that appropriate measures are taken with these students, immediately following an incident.   Information required includes: diagnoses, possible exhibiting behaviors and preliminary plans to deal with the student's behavior.

Effective Behavioral Planning

This component guides participants through the process of recognizing the presenting behaviors that are tied to a mental health disorder.  Participants will practice effective behavioral plan writing and development which will affect behavioral change.  Although missed by many, effective behavioral planning must include the parent(s)/guardian(s)' as part of that student's success.

Carrying it to Conclusion

Effective communication of the progress or setbacks with the Team, including the parent(s)/guardian(s), is essential.  It is imperative that the parent(s)/guardian(s) be vested with responsibility in the success of the plan and  that they report to the team on their progress with the student during non-school hours. Likewise, it is important that the school team members report to the parent on the student's progress at school.  This can be accomplished through a unique Behavioral Assessment Tool, which will report the student's progress and assess their behavior.

 

This training will equip participants to recognize Critical Diagnostic information, develop Effective Behavioral Plans and carry this process to an appropriate outcome.
