Crisis Prevention Intervention Certification
Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI) is a behavior management training program designed to provide safe and secure behavioral intervention. It is a respectful, noninvasive method to use in defusing escalating behavior and safely manage physically aggressive behavior. This approach emphasizes prevention and teaches educators how to de-escalate potentially disruptive or violent situations. Participants also learn how to design school-wide behavior crisis management systems and to create behavior crisis intervention teams. Participants who complete CPI training are certified for one year by the International CPI Association.

Habits of Mind: Preparing Students for Success
"Habits of Mind" focuses on how high achieving people think and behave. It will include a discussion of characteristics gleaned from numerous studies and models of learning, peak performance, leadership, and success. It is our hope that participants will exit this seminar with a clearly developed and personalized model of success that works for them. Our aim is to have participants make the learning that occurs a part of their own lives, to incorporate it into the classroom for the benefit of students, and even with their own children where appropriate. They will learn how to use modeling as a tool for student learning, how to assess and adjust student performance quality, and how to build confidence and build positive attitudes.
Our work together will draw from a number of the latest perspectives on peak performance and learning, along with a success formula that has been around for more than eighty years. The common reading for this seminar is called Keys to Success: The 17 Principles of Achievement, by Napoleon Hill. This text is an updated version of Hill's early twentieth century work. the first was printed in 1928 under the banner Law of Success and followed by his most famous piece, Think and grow Rich, published in 1937. While we will not follow the text directly, its contents provide a wonderful backdrop for some timeless fundamentals that supplement the personal productivity advances that have occurred since this early masterpiece was written.
The two most significant pieces of education research that we will use are those of teacher effects (Positive expectation) and student engagement.
Participants are required to purchase text and have it available for the first day of class.
