Crisis Prevention Institute Case Study

Valley View School District District, Illinois: Mary Davis

Introduction

This case study of Valley View School District District is based on a March 2016 survey of Crisis Prevention Institute customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.

“I am passionate about developing relationships with students, so de-escalation can positively occur and physical restraint will not be necessary, as it has not been necessary in our facility.”

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

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

“CPI allows our staff to promote positive attitudes and safety plans for students and staff.”
