"Why didn't we see it
coming??!! Assessment of Early Warning Signs"
This is an abbreviated version of our "Assessment
Training on Early Warning Signs." It is intended as a
follow-on training for the school staff in implementing the procedures covered
in the full training. The model is for the school district to develop a
response team concept, consisting of 3 or 4 people in each school who are
trained in the use of the Keys To Safer Schools "Assessment
Tool" and referral procedures. This provides a core of
people who can take the observations of Early Warning Signs provided by
teachers and others and process them into an action plan for the student. We
are prepared to provide the in-service without the Assessment training,
however, it may leave a gap as to what the teachers are expected to do with
their new found knowledge. If the school already has a plan, we will
incorporate it into the training
