CPI Training
CPI Training
Nonviolent Crisis Intervention classes (CPI) have been added to Eduphoria for the following dates:
Initial 2 day CPI – Aug 31/Sept 1
Initial 2 day CPI - Sept 21 & 22
Refresher 1 day CPI – Sept 23 (must have had the initial/refresher in the last 18 months)
All classes are at the Nancy Watten Building (Multi-purpose Building). Classes focus on de-escalation skills, but also teaches skills for hold (restraints) if they become necessary so it is a good class for all teachers that work with students with problem behavior in general education or special education. We will have CPI classes every 30 days. The rest of the classes will be added to Eduphoria as the class location is confirmed. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
*This is for staff who work with students who have behavior that would include harming themselves or others. Priority will be given to the classrooms with these types of behavior*
