Early Warning Timely Response: A Guide to Safe Schools

This 1998 guide offers research-based practices designed to assist school-based personnel to identify warning signs in unstable and potentially violent students and to develop prevention, intervention and crisis response plans. The guide includes sections on: 1) Characteristics of a School that is Safe and Responsive to All Children; 2) Early Warning Signs; 3) Getting Help for Troubled Children; 4) Developing a Prevention and Response Plan; 5) Responding to Crisis; 6) Resources; and 7) Methodology, Contributors, and Research Support. While this guide is written for primary and secondary schools, many of the recommendations may also apply in a campus setting.
