Whether by district, state or federal decision, school administrators agree to uphold certain levels of behavior and support for the students in their care. The result is a policy filled with guidelines indicating what staff will do, what administrators will do, what processes will be followed, what agencies will be notified and so on.
These student wellbeing policies – Suicide Prevention, Targeted Violence Prevention (Behavioral Threat Management), Homelessness, Sexual Harassment, Bullying Prevention, etc. – represent the commitments schools make to help ensure safe learning environments and positive outcomes for students. The key is putting these policies into action!
There are a host of tragic learnings that could have been avoided if student wellbeing policies had been put into action. The policy is only a guideline, schools need to break down each policy into specific protocols or step-by-step processes.
They must train staff in how to follow the protocols, including who to contact and under what circumstances and they must hold each other (staff and administrators) accountable via auditing and reporting mechanisms.
As mandated by the U.S. Department of Education’s Final Title IX Regulations, schools must provide essential protections against sex discrimination to ensure a safe, equitable learning environment for all students.
Raptor offers PublicSchoolWORKS’ comprehensive Title IX training specifically designed to meet the 2024 amendments, ensuring that your school complies with federal requirements while promoting educational equity and opportunity.
Unique to StudentSafe™ is the ability to create the custom forms (i.e., step-by-step processes) for all your Student Wellbeing Policies. Incredibly easy to use, you can quickly re-create any existing paper or electronic forms within StudentSafe. Start from scratch with any new policies. All your common form building tools are here.
Intake and investigations are only part of the process. Cases help you manage your complete support of the student. Here you can set tasks, establish severity ratings, determine status types, add approvals and notification requirements – everything to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
Not only can you modify your own forms and cases when updated policies, guidelines or laws come into effect, but you can also modify the ones already included in StudentSafe. It’s quite common that behavioral threat management teams use a hybrid of one or more of the existing methodologies. Now you can create your own version by starting with an existing model and making modifications.
Using your district’s terminology and resources, you can incorporate your own guidance and tips as staff are working through your student wellbeing processes. This is a great way to help ensure that everyone is completing tasks and documentation with consistency and fidelity.
Part of custom cases, this important feature helps ensure that the appropriate people are notified at the right time. For example, if your district requires parent notification that a student is being evaluated to determine whether they may pose a threat of violence, then within StudentSafe, that requirement is listed, a team member indicates they have notified the parent and can upload an audio recording or an email file.
StudentSafe provides full auditing of all user actions including date and time stamps. This level of accountability helps ensure policies are being enacted consistently and appropriately and reduces district liability.
Robust dashboards and reporting features provide considerable insight into trends across cohorts as well as a holistic view of individual students who may need support. Quickly see whether specific schools need additional resources or training, identify positive trends in student outcomes, determine the impact of process changes and so on.
Gain instant insights into student wellbeing trends across your entire district. With all building data at your fingertips, staff can create custom reports to identify patterns faster and make data-driven decisions to support students at the district-level.
Imagine having visibility of a student’s full chronology who is enrolled in multiple schools in your district where staff at each school are contributing to concerns and interventions and collaborating on next steps. Now imagine seeing a report that fourth grade girls of Asian descent are experiencing excessive bullying at two of your elementary schools. A few months later that same report shows a marked decline in trend after implementing a targeted bullying prevention campaign.
These are just a few examples of the value schools gain when all student wellbeing policies are put into action in one central secure software platform.
