Key Findings
The study analyzed the results of surveys taken by teachers who completed Kognito’s At-Risk for High School Educators online training simulation versus teachers from a control group who did not.
The results of the study strongly suggest that the training simulation significantly increases:
1. Teachers’ ability to identify, approach, and refer at-risk students
2. Teachers’ confidence in their ability to help a suicidal student
3. The likelihood that teachers will intervene when faced with a student at risk for psychological distress and suicide. over 97% of participants who received the training indicated they were likely or very likely to approach such a student.
These results were consistent and statistically significant across demographic characteristics which suggest that the At-Risk for High School Educators program is effective for educators regardless of age, gender, and tenure.
The study also found that the interpersonal skills and tactics taught in At-Risk such as using open-ended questions, reflective listening and other motivational interviewing tactics can assist teachers in effectively conducting other challenging conversations they have with their students regarding classroom behavior and academic performance.
