How it works > Our Products Behavioral Threat Assessments & Management
The Slidesoft Behavioral Threat Assessment & Management (BTAM) tool and accompanying process are designed to help schools identify, assess, manage, and monitor threats or concerning behaviors that may impact the safety and well-being of students and staff.
This approach reflects national best practices and incorporates lessons learned from research conducted by the U.S. Secret Service’s National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC) and the FBI’s Behavioral Threat Assessment Center (BTAC).

The Goal
The primary goal of Slidesoft’s threat management software is to prevent violence and harm while promoting positive outcomes for students. The process emphasizes early identification of concerning behaviors, fact-based assessment, and coordinated intervention strategies that support students while protecting the larger school community. Threat management in Slidesoft’s BTAM tool is non-punitive: its purpose is not to discipline, but to intervene early, provide needed supports, and redirect behavior before it escalates into harm.
Behavioral Threat Assessment & ManagementConsistency and Readiness Across K–12
By implementing this tool, Slidesoft provides consistency and efficiency for all K–12 schools using its software. This uniform approach ensures that multidisciplinary teams across districts and schools are equipped with the tools, training, and case management resources necessary to respond effectively to concerning behaviors and threats. Ultimately, this process enhances the shared responsibility of keeping schools safe, while supporting students in achieving successful outcomes.
