Instructional Contact Hours = 8 hours
The numbers of challenging students and the severity of their behaviors are
increasing. Recognizing, understanding, and intervening in escalating behaviors is a necessary skill for all staff who may be faced with challenging behaviors.
This class is a REFRESHER for those who have already completed
Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI) initial course within the last school year.
This interactive class reviews how to recognize stages of escalating behavior and how to respond effectively to stop the escalation cycle. Participants review specific strategies for assisting both students and staff in alternative behaviors to avoid future escalation
of behaviors. Verbal de-escalation is stressed. In the rare event that the student becomes physically aggressive, physical restraint is taught and practiced as a last resort
strategy.
The instructors are master level trainers certified by Crisis Prevention Intervention,
