CPI training in schools is a program designed to equip educators and staff with strategies to prevent and de-escalate disruptive or potentially harmful behaviors. The training emphasizes proactive techniques to maintain a safe and supportive learning environment. CPI focuses on recognizing early warning signs, effective communication, and non-violent crisis intervention methods. It also includes strategies for safely managing physical aggression, when necessary, with an emphasis on reducing the need for physical intervention.  

Participants who complete CPI training are certified for one year by the International CPI Association.

The CPI Blended experience starts with participants completing the online portion of the course, which introduces them to the basic concepts of Non-Violent Crisis Intervention training.

During the online portion, participants are encouraged to take notes and apply concepts to their current jobs.  Modules encourage note taking and challenge them to consider their own workplace realities and apply to content.

Approximately 2 hours is required for online modules, 4 hours classroom setting review and physicals, in person attendance required.

Important: The online portion of the course must be complete prior to participating in the classroom session. Participants are encouraged to bring their notes from the online course completion to the classroom portion of the course. Completion of the online course, and full participation in the review and physicals training are required to pass the course. A link will be sent to registered participants for the online portion. Access to a device and high speed internet is required for this course. A workbook will be distributed at the start of the in-person session.
