Instructor Certification - Mechanicsburg, PA Oct 29-2, 2012
As of this evening, we are still planning on holding the training for the week. The hotel is equipped with generators in case of power outages. We have many participants that have already traveled a great distance and are staying at the hotel for the week. If you are commuting and decide you would like to reschedule, please just let us know and we will transfer you to another upcoming Instructor Certification program of your choice (there will be no additional transfer fees due the circumstances). Should the weather get very bad, we will adjust as necessary during the week. If you have any uncertainty, please just let us know and we will reschedule you for the next available program. If you have any questions, please just give us a call.

US Dept of Education Releases Restraint & Seclusion Document
On May 15, 2012 the US Dept of Education released a document which describes 15 principles for states, school districts, parents and other stakeholders to consider in the development of policy and procedures on the use of restraint and seclusion. The document also provides a summary of federal activity related to restraint and seclusion intervention, a summary of federal agency efforts to address concerns and an extended resource section. The 15 principles are consistent with existing professional standards. Safe Crisis Management is congruent with all principles. The document does underscore the need for teacher training in de-escalation, restraint and seclusion interventions.
