Medications administration guidelines from the Michigan Department of Education require training for non-nursing staff on the use of an epinephrine auto-injector conducted under the supervision of, and shall include evaluation by a licensed, registered professional nurse. In order to receive a renewed (or new) prescription (RX) for the 2015-2016 school year from Dr. Johansen of the Berrien County Health Department, it is a requirement of at least one person per building within a district to be retrained or newly trained. With your prescription, you will have the opportunity to appy for free epi-pens. Remember, each school building with 10 or more instructional and administrative staff is required to have at least two employees trained and schools with less than 10 staff are required to have at least one trained staff member. You are certainly encouraged to have more staff trained than the required to be better equipped in the event of an anaphylactic reaction.

The RTI at Work™ model builds on the foundation of the Professional Learning Communities at Work™ process by using team structures and a focus on learning, collaboration, and results to drive successful outcomes. Mattos will emphasize that all students must have access at Tier 1 to essential grade-level curriculum and highly effective instructional practices to prevent most
learning struggles. In addition, a school must provide increasing targeted supplemental (Tier 2) and intensive (Tier 3) interventions for all students needing additional support to master the
academic skills, knowledge, and behaviors required to succeed in school and beyond.
Registration Fee: $250 - Lunch included. Register by January 13
