Violence Risk Assessment with NABITA Endorsement is a half-day course that will introduce participants to the VRA process. The Title IX regulations mandate an individualized safety or risk analysis if an institution is going to limit educational access (e.g., emergency removal), which can often take the form of a VRA. This program will help practitioners implement an evidence-based process that reduces bias, mitigates legal risk exposure, and ensures consistency in determining (1) if a VRA is warranted, (2) who should conduct the VRA, and (3) what to do after receiving the VRA results report. Those who attend the training will receive information on how to vet those conducting a VRA, how the VRA differs from other types of assessments, and how to work collaboratively with behavioral intervention, care, and/or threat assessment teams to ensure an effective and thorough process.

This research-based, practitioner-informed course is focused on institution-wide compliance efforts, including prevention education and programming, leveraging partnerships, and program assessment.
Title IX work often focuses on response, but effective prevention means fewer incidents. It is essential to understand what prevention entails, how it operates, and how it can be optimized to reduce misconduct. ATIXA’s experienced faculty members will guide participants through multiple applied learning exercises related to prevention program planning and evaluation. Additionally, they will address common concerns that emerge in response to disclosures and incidents, known as Secondary Prevention.
Lastly, faculty will present best practices for holistic program assessment, including strategies for implementation and leveraging the assessment data to advocate for policy changes and innovative prevention initiatives.

Using a case study fact pattern only offered in this ATIXA training, this course helps K-12 practitioners serving in decision-making roles to understand the scope of their position, apply policies with analytical precision, and check biases to ensure that determinations in Title IX complaints are reliably based on evidence, and will stand up to appeal and review by the courts.
ATIXA’s expert faculty members teach decision-making skills that are sound, supportable, and more difficult to challenge in court by closely tracking policy, correctly applying the standard of proof, following fair procedures, producing cogent rationales, and perceptively assessing credibility.
This course is particularly beneficial for investigators also serving as decision-makers, single or panel decision-makers, appeal decision-makers, and administrators who oversee them. Additionally, this course supports individuals acting as decision-makers in expulsion hearings.
