SAA Members Develop Verbal De-Escalation Training
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | September 25, 2012
You may recall that the SAA played a huge role in the design and passage of 2011 Wisconsin Act 125 on Seclusion and Restraint, and that the American Association of School Administrators (AASA) highlighted Act 125 as a common-sense model for state and federal seclusion and restraint legislation.
As a follow up to Act 125, the SAA is pleased to share with you a training document for teachers on how to de-escalate a tense and potentially dangerous classroom situation in order to reduce, or even eliminate the need for seclusion and restraint in schools.
This Verbal De-escalation training was developed by the Wisconsin Council for Administrators of Special Services (WCASS) Special Projects Committee members Nissan Bar-Lev and Barb Van Haren, and Kendra Stea from the Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI).
