Crisis Prevention Institute Case Study

Milwaukee Public Schools – Wisconsin

Introduction

This case study of Milwaukee Public Schools is based on a March 2016 survey of Crisis Prevention Institute customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.

“CPI has been so beneficial to me, my coworkers, and the clients we serve.”

“CPI improved staff de-escalation skills, overall safety, and has become ingrained in our training.”

“Because of an increase in direct instruction time, CPI training has led to improved student outcomes. (Examples: test scores, student grades, graduation rates, etc.)”

“CPI training has given me the opportunity to find additional resources that assist in understanding the information being taught.”

“After implementing CPI training, I have more staff sharing their experiences about being able to verbally de-escalate more effectively.”
