CPI’s framework introduces a 4-step process for turning crises into an opportunity for positive outcomes. Participants will learn how to create a plan for objectively responding to high-risk behavior, reducing the chance of severe outcomes. Additionally, this training allows participants to explore the effects of trauma and the psychology of the brain on the person in crisis and the responding individual.

A Framework to Support Executive Functioning Skills
Do your students know what to do but still struggle to get started, stay organized, and finish the task?
Do your students struggle to stay on task, complete assignments, find their materials, or turn in work even when it is finished? These challenges are often connected to executive functioning skills and can significantly affect a student’s access, independence, and academic progress.
This session will explore the overlap between executive functioning and learning disabilities, with a focus on how schools can respond through intentional instruction and support. Participants will examine the process from identifying a student’s needs and writing an appropriate IEP goal to selecting and implementing specially designed instruction for related skills.
Practical strategies will be shared for supporting individual students, along with ways to adapt instruction for small-group or whole-class settings. Participants will leave with concrete ideas for teaching skills such as organization, task initiation, planning, self-monitoring, and work completion.
This session is designed for general education teachers, special education teachers, and administrators who want practical tools to help students become more organized, independent, and successful.
