SUMMARY:Level 2 Threat Assessment
DESCRIPTION:OverviewThe purpose of a threat assessment is to prevent targeted violence. The appraisal of risk in a school setting focuses on action\, communication\, and circumstances that may suggest an individual intends to mount an attack and is engaged in planning or preparing for that event. The threat assessment process is centered upon an analysis of the facts and evidence of behavior in a given situation\, and sometimes a clear analysis requires the support and perspective of community experts beyond the walls of the school building. \nThis 2-hour Student Threat Assessment (STA) ZOOMtraining will cover the essential concepts of the Salem-Keizer Threat Assessment System\, and will clarify the roles of local experts who are eager to support the safety and well-being of our schools and community. (Open to community partners and anyone interested in furthering their understanding of Threat Assessment in education.) \nThis training will review the following: \n\nYouth Risk Factors\nSupportive Research and Best\nPractice Recommendations\nApplication of STA concepts\nClarification of community partners’ roles and responsibilities\n\nDate & TimeFriday\, September 9\n9:00am – 11:00am \nLocationVirtual\, Online Event\nHosted via Zoom \nRegistration PriceFree \nClock Hours2 Clock Hours Available for Purchase \nRegister via pdEnrollerBack to events calendar >

SUMMARY:Science In Our Valley: Human and Algorithmic Bias in AI
DESCRIPTION:OverviewScience in Our Valley seminars run every Wednesday starting September 28 and ending November 16. All events are free and open to the public at the WSU Tree Fruit Research & Extension Center (1100 N Western Ave\, Wenatchee) from 4pm to 5pm. Prior registration is not required to attend these events. \nClick here to subscribe to Science In Our Valley email updates \nHuman and Algorithmic Bias in AI | GAANPresented by Mr. Jarren Briscoe (Doctorate Fellow\, Washington State University)\nHuman bias permeates our lives. Is this inherent to intelligence? How does bias evolve over time? After Mr. Briscoe discusses definitions and types of bias in humans and machines (algorithms)\, he will show how “fairness via awareness” is often the best option. It is rather counter-intuitive\, but including sensitive features\, such as sex\, race\, gender\, and age\, in machine learning algorithms often reduces bias. He relate this to the human fallacies of composition and division. We cannot blindly take each part and believe it is the same as the whole. \nView & Download Seminar Flyer > \nThe seminar presentations are intended for a ‘science-based’ audience\, including researchers\, postdoctoral scientists\, teachers\, graduate students\, undergraduate scientists\, and science enthusiasts. \nK-12 educators are also encouraged to attend the seminar series to learn about local career connections and research efforts that they can bring back to their students. Clock hours are available through the North Central Educational Service District for attending the series. \nDate & TimeWednesday\, September 28\n4:00pm – 5:00pm \nLocationWSU Tree Fruit Research & Extension Center\n1100 N Western Ave\, Wenatchee\, WA 98801 \nRegistration PriceFree \nClock Hours1 Clock Hours Available for Purchase \nClick here to register on pdEnroller for Clock Hours \nLEARN MOREBack to events calendar >
