The two-part training focuses on crisis prevention and intervention, emphasizing care, welfare, safety, and security for all while aligning with positive behavioral support principles. Participants will gain the necessary skills to prevent, de-escalate, and—only as a last resort— safely apply physical interventions in dangerous situations. Course Structure: Part/Day 1: Self-Paced Online Modules (2-4 Hours). Participants must complete the required online modules at least three days before the in-person training. This portion focuses on nonverbal and verbal prevention strategies and intervention techniques for managing distressing behavior. A workbook will be provided to the participants to supplement the learning. Part/Day 2: In-Person Training. Participants will join classroom personnel for a hands-on training session. To ensure safety, comfortable clothing and shoes are required. Successful completion requires demonstrating competency in disengagement skills, physical interventions, and passing a written evaluation. Upon completion, participants will receive a CPI certification, valid for two years. This course provides essential skills to promote a safe and supportive environment while upholding best practices in crisis prevention and intervention.

Grounded in the understanding that behavior is a form of communication, the course begins by examining how individual value systems and perspectives shape our responses to student behavior. Participants will explore brain states that influence regulation, learn to recognize early signs of escalation, and understand each phase of the de-escalation cycle. Emphasis is placed on using calm, confident communication, trauma-informed practices, and post-incident reflection to restore connection and foster student resilience. By the end of the session, educators will be better prepared to respond to challenging behaviors with clarity, empathy, and control.
Intended Audience
Special education teachers, paraprofessionals, site administrators, school psychologists, and general education teachers.
