The Flagship Curriculum

23 Modules. One Discipline. Every Adult.

Scenario-driven. SRP-aligned. Built by a practitioner who spent 23 years inside a Texas district — not by someone who read the research from a conference room. Delivered in any format. Sustains beyond year one.

Why It Works

Built for the adult standing in the hallway, not the administrator on stage.

SRP-Aligned

Every module uses plain-language SRP protocol language: Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, Shelter. No color codes. No acronym confusion.

Scenario-Driven

Each module includes scenario exercises that put staff in the decision — not just in front of the information. Decision speed comes from practice, not exposure.

Workbook-Based

Every participant leaves with a physical workbook. Not a PDF. Not a handout. A structured document they can reference and return to.

Facilitator-Ready

The Facilitator Guide for each module is a complete delivery package — talking points, anticipated questions, scenario facilitation notes, and a hot-wash form.

Practitioner Voice

No research-from-a-distance language. Michael wrote this curriculum from inside a building. Every module reflects what actually happens — not what theory suggests.

Sustainment Built In

The curriculum is designed for ongoing use by your internal safety team, not for a single delivery event. Year two costs a fraction of year one.

The Complete Curriculum

All 23 Modules — Organized by Category

Each module includes a Participant Workbook and a Facilitator Guide (marked CONFIDENTIAL). Modules may be delivered in any order after Foundation modules are complete.

Foundation M-01 through M-03

Mindset, presence, and perimeter. The three modules every staff member receives before any other training.

M-01

The Gravity of Complacency

Why safe schools become unsafe. The psychology of small things that compound. Case studies drawn from incidents where warning signs were present and unaddressed.

M-02

Presence and Reporting

Building the observer mindset — seeing and reporting before something breaks. The difference between witnessing and noticing. What reporting culture actually requires.

M-03

Perimeter and Transitions

Where most incidents actually begin. The unlocked door. The unsupervised transition. The visitor who waited. Practical perimeter protocols for every campus type.

Operations M-04 through M-07

The four SRP protocols that every adult in the building must understand and be able to execute — not just identify.

M-04

Hold and Secure

The protocol most confused in practice. What Hold and Secure means, what it does not mean, when to call it, and why most staff conflate it with Lockdown.

M-05

Lockdown

Beyond the drill. The decision-making sequence that staff must run under pressure when protocol meets a building that was not designed for it.

M-06

Evacuate and Shelter

Knowing the difference between Evacuate and Shelter — and ensuring your building can actually execute whichever you call.

M-07

Reunification

The moment most districts execute poorly. The Standard Reunification Method framework applied to your campus, your geography, and your parent population.

Assessment M-08 through M-11

The measurement and mindset modules that turn one-time training into a sustained safety culture.

M-08

Measure to Improve

Drill evaluation that produces actionable findings. What to measure, what to discard, and how to build improvement into the exercise design.

M-09

Sustaining the Shield

Keeping a safety culture alive after year one. The specific practices that differentiate districts with sustained safety cultures from those with fading ones.

M-10

The Guardian's Vow

The professional commitment that safety requires. The structure that makes that commitment sustainable rather than aspirational.

M-11

The Investigative Mindset

How to think about concerning behavior before it escalates. What separates a report that stays in a file from one that prevents an incident.

Leadership M-12 through M-16

Modules for campus leaders, district administrators, and safety directors — the people who set the conditions under which staff perform.

M-12

The Forensic Principal

Building a campus leader who can dissect an incident after it occurs — and use that analysis to prevent the next one.

M-13

Situational Awareness

Research-grounded techniques for training the brain to detect patterns before events materialize. Applied to school environments specifically.

M-14

Behavioral Threat Assessment

The framework every district needs — and what most districts that have it are doing wrong. How CSTAG and the NTAC model apply at the campus level.

M-15

The Digital Perimeter

Social media intelligence, device threats, and online communication patterns that have preceded school violence. What staff can monitor, what they cannot, and what to do with what they find.

M-16

Indecision as a Threat

When hesitation costs more than a wrong decision. The specific leadership practices that build decision speed in a team that has been trained to deliberate.

Integration M-17 through M-22

The modules that connect your safety program to external agencies, your entire staff population, and your community.

M-17

Tactical Handshake

The coordination gap between school staff and law enforcement first responders. How to close it before an incident, not during one.

M-18

Vulnerable Populations

Safety protocols that account for every student — including students with disabilities, ELL students, and those with behavioral support plans who are the hardest to move.

M-19

Strategic Communications

Crisis communications before, during, and after. What to say, what not to say, who says it, and how to manage a parent population that is receiving information from every direction.

M-20

Recovery and the 1000-Day Timeline

What comes after the incident. The multi-year recovery arc that no district is fully prepared for — staff, student, and community dimensions.

M-21

The Sentinel Committee

Building the internal governance structure that keeps safety alive beyond any single administrator, grant cycle, or training cohort.

M-22

The Sentinel Substitute

Training for substitute teachers — the single most underprepared group in every building, and the group most likely to be on campus during an incident.

Equity M-23

The module that addresses what discipline data reveals about safety — and what to do with that information.

M-23

The Mirror

When discipline data becomes a safety conversation. Suspension and expulsion patterns as safety indicators. What equity gaps reveal about building culture — and how to respond.

Special Editions

Five standalone workshops outside the 23-module sequence.

Specials are sold individually or bundled with the Core or Wrap-Around engagement. Each runs 3 to 8 hours depending on format. All include participant materials.

SP-01

Every Child Comes Home

A Deep Dive in School Reunification

Advanced scenario training for crisis teams and district-level reunification coordinators. Goes beyond M-07 into full-scale exercise design and real-time management.

SP-02

When Complacency Costs Everything

A Critical Incident Review

Case-study-driven examination of incidents where warning signs were present, available, and unaddressed. Columbine. Sandy Hook. Covenant. Santa Fe. Uvalde. What was missed and when.

SP-03

Sentinel Substitute Deep Dive

Workshop Edition of M-22

Extended workshop format built specifically for substitute teachers. Full scenario exercises, protocol practice, and site-specific orientation materials.

SP-04

SRP-SRM Scenario Training

Working the Six Protocols Under Pressure

Live scenario exercises for full safety teams. Six to eight hours of protocol practice, after-action review, and team-level refinement. Not a lecture — a workout.

SP-05

Cultivating Sentinels

Building the Adult Habits That Hold a School Together

Culture and mindset at the campus level. For schools that have completed the curriculum and want to embed safety habits into daily practice — not just emergency response.

Delivery Formats

Every module. Every format. Every scale.

On-Site

The highest-engagement format. Michael delivers in your building. Staff see and work with someone who has stood in the same hallways they stand in. Strongest scenario outcomes. Recommended for Foundation modules and any district doing Sentinel Series for the first time.

Virtual Live

Full Sentinel Series content delivered via live video platform. Suitable for multi-campus districts, geographic scale, ESC-level delivery, or rapid deployment when calendar constraints prevent on-site scheduling.

Hybrid

On-site delivery for campus and district leadership, virtual delivery for frontline staff. Maximum scale for districts above fifteen campuses. Most cost-efficient format for large districts doing system-wide rollout.

Your staff is already the first response. The only question is whether they are trained to act like it.

Let's talk about which modules are right for your district — and which funding mechanism covers it.
