NCI ~ prevention, core, core+

No posts from my classroom today, sorry!  Today, I spent the day in a workshop getting my yearly certification for a program called NCI (north carolina interventions).  The training website is here: http://www.ncdhhs.gov/mhddsas/training/nci.htm

It is a program that aims to provide strategies for:

Prevention
  • Building positive relationships.
  • Decision making and problem solving.
  • Assessing risk for escalating behavior.
  • Early crisis intervention.
Core:
  • Prevention plus,
  • Non-restraining blocks and releases
Core+
  • Core plus,
  • Approved optional restraining physical techniques such as therapeutic holds, carries and techniques for special populations.*
The county I teach in, is one of the only counties in the state to offer this training to their low incidence teachers.  It is an amazing training and I highly recommend attending something similiar to this in the state that you live in. 

Hope everyone had a great Monday!
