IV.U.2) 2. Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI) and Ukeru Training Pilot
Description:
Eaton RESA is exploring the implementation of a one-year pilot to provide Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI) and Ukeru training opportunities for local district and center-based staff. Eaton RESA previously offered CPI training to local districts, and several districts have expressed interest in having these supports available again. Additionally, districts have identified Ukeru training as a valuable evidence-based approach for supporting students with behavioral needs. Both CPI and Ukeru are designed to equip staff with strategies and skills to effectively de-escalate challenging situations and respond safely and appropriately to student behaviors. Providing access to these training opportunities would support local districts in building staff capacity and promoting positive learning environments. To meet anticipated demand during the pilot phase, Eaton RESA is evaluating the potential need for up to three part-time (.4 FTE) NONA staff members to serve as trainers. Similar training services are commonly offered by intermediate school districts and educational service agencies across Michigan as part of their regional support model. Throughout the pilot year, Eaton RESA will monitor participation levels, program effectiveness, staffing requirements, and associated costs. Information gathered during the pilot will be used to determine the long-term viability of the program and whether future staffing recommendations should be considered. Training costs would be recovered through fees charged to participating districts, and additional grant and funding opportunities will be pursued to help offset program expenses. |
