The Crawl, Walk, Run, Refresh Methodology.

Our proprietary training method ensures teams are trained in a structured, well-thought-out approach that maximizes understanding, information retention, and skill development.

2
Walk
Drill the individual phases — team communication, student triage and check-in, and parent/guardian check-in — each under realistic pressure.
3
Run
Put it all together in a single end-to-end drill of your entire reunification process.
4
Refresh
Continue training, update processes, and keep your team sharp through ongoing professional development.

In-Person Training

Hands-on training, built for your community.

Every in-person training is tailored to your organization. We meet with you first, recommend the right program for where you are, and support you through the entire process. Prices are starting points: each event is scoped to your district, and travel is billed separately.

How a Reunification Unfolds Two tracks run in parallel — the team readies the site while students are moved and accounted for — then both converge into parent check-in and reunification.

Phase Two
Walk
