Training Options:

1. ”Developing Effective Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs)” based on The Source Book, 3rd Edition: IDEA & 504 Behavior Intervention Plans for Students with Behavior Problems.  Crane/Reynolds, Inc. provides three (3) options for training your staff in Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs). Please review the following information to see which option is best for your system:
    
   • BIP Option 1: One-day Inservice training - Workshop information is based upon the IDEA 2004 regulations for BIPs, 504 regulations and suggested BIP components.  Areas addressed include:  FBAs, Annual IEP goals/benchmarks, short term objectives (if needed), target behaviors for Classroom Management Plans, Classroom Management Plans and individualized discipline options. Information includes resources for structuring information-gathering, suggested procedures for designing each BIP component and  sample forms to structure the development of BIP components.  Participants develop all components of the BIP based on assesssment and information in the student's audit folder. The forms are released for modification at no charge to the school system.
      
   • BIP Option 2: Two-day Inservice training - Workshop information is provided to two separate audiences:  (1) Participants to be trained in the BIP Workshop and (2) the Administrators and support staff involved in policy and procedure information. 1.5 days of the in-service are provided to the participants to be trained in the BIP workshop, addressing the information in Option 1 coupled with more intensive training in developing discipline options for individual students and campuses. The second half of day 2 is directed to Administrators and support staff who are involved in development of procedures and forms for developing effective BIPs. C/R, Inc. will review current forms, discuss possible modifications and help develop procedures and forms with staff using C/R's BIP procedure and form prototypes.
      
   • BIP Option 3: Trainers Training with Options 1 or 2 – Adds  1 day of Trainers Training in the BIP Workshop. For school systems who are interested in adopting Crane/Reynolds workshop materials for on-going staff training, we suggest that the school system designate personnel to become trainers. Trainers training provides scripts, presentation materials, handouts, and presentation skills.
      
2. ”Discipline as an Educational Strategy”  based on the discipline strand of information from The Source Book, 3rd Edition: IDEA & 504 Behavior Intervention Plans for Students with Behavior Problems.  Workshop information is designed for Administrators and Support Staff involved in the discipline of students with special needs.

Information includes resources and a form for structuring the review of discipline referrals, sample form to structure the development of the Contingency Plan for discipline options component, suggested structuring of the discipline referral form and more.   Participants develop all components of the Contingency Plan for discipline options, individualizing the campus-based strategies for the student.  The Contingency Plan Form is released for modification at no charge to the school system.

   The curriculum training is available in  2 – day or 3 – day formats, dependent on the contracting system's needs. These formats include the following:
    
   • 2 – Day Training Format: this training session is for all (or any one) of the Curriculum series, involving participants in mini-lectures, demonstrations, role plays and "mini-teaching" situations. The focus of the training is to give participants "hands-on" experience with the curriculum materials, effective methods and techniques to teach students coping skills, social skills and a goal setting process for school, community and work settings. Emphasis in the training is given to developing effective teaching skills using nonverbal and verbal communication, designing and leading effective discussions, redirecting inappropriate behaviors, facilitating student decision- making and modeling effective social and coping skills for all settings.
      
   • 3 – Day Training Format: this training session includes the information in the 2 -day format plus a day of Trainers Training to enable school systems to have on-site trainers in the materials for new teachers and for annual training purposes. Trainers training provides workshop scripts masters for transparencies and handouts and information on becoming an effective communicator/presenter.
