Helping Your Educators Teach the Options-Based Approach
Develop a curriculum and well-designed lesson plans that make it easier for your teachers
One of the key offerings of CS Consulting is our curriculum, which focuses on an Options-Based approach to an Active Threat. This approach is designed to provide educators with practical strategies and techniques to respond effectively to an active shooter situation. What sets our curriculum apart is that it considers educators' specific needs and capabilities, ensuring that it is both practical and sustainable.
CS Consulting understands that teaching about active shootings can be a sensitive subject, especially when it involves young students. That is why our curriculum is age-appropriate and scaffolded over an eighteen-month period. By introducing the concepts gradually, it became easier for students to understand and incorporate them into their muscle memory. This approach minimizes trauma for students while ensuring they are prepared to respond effectively in an emergency.
