Practice Briefs

This resource is a compilation of practice profiles highlighting considerations for improving physical safety for schools and classrooms in the context of school-based gun violence. As the evidence continues to emerge and additional practices are identified, those practices will be reviewed for inclusion in future versions of this resource. In this introduction we describe considerations for implementation within a larger MTSS framework. The development of this resource included a review of existing research, after-action reports, legal documents, averted shooting reports and synthesizes lessons learned from school, district, and state recovery efforts over the last decade.
