About the Toolkit
The Student Affairs Forum, a research membership within the EAB, is pleased to provide this collection of resources for behavioral intervention teams (BITs). The Forum gathered these materials through an extensive literature review and during more than 130 interviews with Student Affairs practitioners at a diverse group of institutions in the United States and Canada. The resources provided for members include policy and procedure manuals, outreach and training materials, diagnostic audits, assessment reports, and email templates.
In addition, the Forum created templates to supplement institution-specific resources to address implementation gaps surfaced in the research. The Forum’s implementation tools include a procedure manual template, a gap-analysis spreadsheet, and a website audit. Members can use these resources to streamline the launch of their BIT, implement new outreach strategies, or quickly optimize current team processes.
