Facilitation Techniques & Instructional Delivery Flashcards

Which delivery method best supports the transfer of CPI crisis prevention skills to real-world settings?

Answer: Video demonstration followed by immediate supervised practice

Demonstration paired with immediate supervised practice activates the see-it/do-it learning cycle critical for physical and behavioral skill transfer.

A CPI instructor is pacing through a module and realizes participants have not grasped a foundational concept. What is the correct instructional response?

Answer: Pause, re-teach using a different method or analogy, then check for understanding

Re-teaching with varied approaches ensures foundational concepts are mastered before dependent content is introduced.

What is the purpose of a 'parking lot' during a CPI facilitated session?

Answer: A designated space to capture off-topic questions for later discussion

A parking lot captures valuable but off-topic questions so they do not derail the current flow yet are honored and addressed appropriately.

How does the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) apply to CPI instructional delivery?

Answer: Instructors should present content slightly beyond current ability with appropriate support

Applying the ZPD means delivering content just beyond current competence with scaffolding, maximizing growth without causing frustration.

During a CPI training module on de-escalation, participants begin to argue about a scenario interpretation. How should the instructor facilitate this?

Answer: Acknowledge both perspectives, link each to the content framework, and redirect to objectives

Acknowledging multiple interpretations validates critical thinking while the instructor anchors discussion back to the CPI framework and learning objectives.

Which approach best demonstrates culturally responsive facilitation in a CPI training context?

Answer: Adapting scenarios, examples, and language to reflect the cultural context of participants

Culturally responsive facilitation increases relevance and trust by reflecting participants' actual professional and cultural environments.

What is the instructor's role immediately AFTER delivering a CPI content module before moving to skills practice?

Answer: Conduct a brief comprehension check to confirm understanding before applied practice

A comprehension check between content delivery and skills practice ensures participants have the cognitive foundation needed to practice correctly.
