In this compelling session, we explore the transformative impact of Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI) methods on educational environments. Drawing from the experiences of the Illinois School District U-46, this session will highlight effective strategies for implementing CPI, fostering a positive school culture, and improving safety for both staff and students.

Takeaways include:

• Understanding the Context: Learn about the unique challenges faced by the U-46 district, including high staff turnover, the need for improved student discipline, and the importance of a supportive school culture.

• Effective Methods: Discover the blended model of CPI implementation, including the transition from in-person to blended learning, and the importance of building-level leadership and district-wide priorities.

• Collaborative Approaches: Engage in partner and group tasks to share your district's methods of implementing CPI, identify areas of success, and address challenges.

• Case Studies and Data: Review qualitative and quantitative data from U-46, including physical safety interventions and participant certification numbers, to understand the real-world impact of CPI methods.

• Action Planning: Participate in action planning to apply CPI strategies in your own district or school, focusing on what is working well, what could be improved, and what needs to change.

Join us for an informative and interactive session that equips educators with the knowledge and tools to create safer, more supportive, and effective learning environments.
