What Oklahoma Educators are
Saying About CPI Training

As a result of the program, I:

...feel confident that I have a plan for staff crisis training. I realize the need for local policy concerning many of these issues.

...have a model or map to take back with me to begin developing policy and procedures for my district.

...feel much more confident about working with a crisis.

...feel I can teach my district about crisis prevention and really help them to use the information consistently and appropriately.

...feel this just might work. Great program!

...feel much more equipped to handle crisis situations. I've been so uneasy in the situations I have been put in.

...am looking forward to implementing and training at our schools. This is real! Far better than other programs!

...am refreshed and I believe this is a very good idea.

...have changed my attitude about crisis intervention and taken a much more serious approach to the verbal side vs. the physical.

...have some "ready" strategies to implement in a crisis situation instead of freezing or drawing a blank while the situation escalates.
