The Oklahoma State Department of Education is offering free PREPaRE School Crisis Prevention and  Intervention training in April 2022. There is normally a fee associated with this training for materials. However, through a Department of Justice Grant, the OSDE is able to offer the training to schools at no cost through reimbursement to your district following the training.

We have spots available to teach PREPaRE in the Tulsa are in July 2022. Workshop 1 will take place Monday, July 25, and enrollment is capped at 40 people. Workshop 2 will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 26-27, and enrollment is capped at 40 people. Both Workshops will be held at the Tulsa Technology Center - Riverside Campus, 801 East 91st Street, Tulsa, OK 74132.

All workshops are scheduled from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and will be held in room A150.

You do not need to sign up for both workshops. However, first preference for a spot will be given to those who sign up for both. We must have 15 people attend each workshop in order to provide the training.

In order to be certified as trained in PREPaRE and be listed on the National Registry, you must attend all of each workshop. Workshop 1 is one day. Workshop 2 is two days. This is a National Association of School Psychologists rule.

Details:

Attendees will be required to take a Pre-test the week before the training. We will provide codes for attendees to use to take the pre-test. This will need to be done before the first session.

Attendees will need to have a computer or tablet with them to access the materials. You are strongly encouraged to print the materials ahead of time.

Attendees should plan to bring their lunch or get a quick bite to eat and return to the training. The lunch break will be about 45 minutes.
