School Culture and Climate
Southern Westchester BOCES continues to focus on ensuring a healthy school climate. The School Climate and Culture workshops include mandated DASA and Nonviolent Crisis Intervention Certification Trainings, and workshops that foster a positive school environment.
Non Violence Intervention
Managing disruptive, aggressive and violent behavior has become an essential skill relevant to all school personnel. Staff members need safe, effective behavior management training designed to maintain the care, welfare, safety and security of all involved in a crisis. The primary focus of this two-day training is to help school staff identify the different levels of behavior typically exhibited by students in crisis.
This highly interactive, hands-on training provides participants with opportunities to practice verbal and physical intervention skills that can be effectively applied to real life situations. Upon successful completion of a post-test, participants receive a one year certification in Nonviolent Crisis Intervention® from the Crisis Prevention Institute.
