Safe Schools Methodologies
Salem-Keizer Cascade Model
PCG has consulted and worked closely with behavioral threat assessment (BTA) expert John Van Dreal to extend the capabilities of our BTA system, so it now incorporates workflow details that fully support the Salem-Keizer Cascade Student Threat Assessment System.
Comprehensive School Threat Assessment Guidelines (CSTAG)
Our solution is adaptable and aligns with your school’s BTA methodology and policy. We offer an out-of-the-box configuration that follows state and local guidelines for Comprehensive School Threat Assessment Guidelines (CSTAG) endorsed by Dr. Dewey Cornell, Ph.D., author of CSTAG.
National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC)
Our solution is adaptable and aligns with your school’s BTA methodology and policy. We offer an out-of-the-box configuration that follows state and local guidelines for the National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC)/Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (VA DCJS) school BTA model.
Suicide In Schools Model
PCG has consulted and worked closely with Dr. Terri Erbacher, Ph.D., to extend the capabilities of our suicide risk assessment (SRA) system, so it incorporates her Suicide in Schools (SiS) assessment methodology. The SRA solution outlines a clear and effective process for users to follow when performing a risk assessment. The student risk assessment process aligns with your state and district-specific processes and procedures.
Hybrid Model
PCG recognizes the importance of aligning with national leaders in the field of behavioral threat assessment and management (BTAM) but also understands that individual districts want the flexibility to tailor solutions to fit their unique needs.
