Crisis Prevention Institute Case Study

Hiawatha Valley Education District – Minnesota

Introduction

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

“I respect the organization, the trainers, and the philosophy. I have had very positive training experiences with CPI.”

“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. (For instance, test scores, student grades, graduation rates, etc.)”

“Using enhanced skills—especially haptic touch—has really helped meet needs of students who are on the spectrum and students of trauma, and has helped staff avoid high level, more dangerous physical interventions.”
