2022 Training Needs Assessment Report

Data compiled from 2018-2021 STOP grantee survey responses and NCSS review of 2021 STOP proposals.

Purpose

The Training Needs Assessment is a tool that allows NCSS to better understand STOP grantee experiences implementing school safety strategies, their specific training needs, evidence-based practice implementation, and COVID-19 influences on school safety activities. Through the survey results, we were equipped to identify and address needs and provide effective training and technical assistance to grantees in 2021-2022.
