Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management (BTAM) is the systematic process of investigating and assessing concerning behaviors. The primary goal of the BTAM process is to evaluate the difference between making a threat and posing a threat to a school community and then to work collaboratively with families and students to mitigate life situational factors contributing to thoughts of violence and aggression. This is a refresher for those already trained in the basic Michigan K-12 Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management (Mi-BTAM) model endorsed by the Michigan State Police Office of School Safety (MSP/OSS). Agenda will be centered on application and practice in the BTAM process, with a focus on tabletop exercises.
