Introduction

This case study of an educational institution is based on a September 2015 survey of Crisis Prevention Institute customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service. The profiled organization asked to have their name blinded to protect their confidentiality.

“CPI has improved staff de-escalation skills, 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.).”

“From year 2013–2014, in-school and out-of-school suspensions were reduced by 60%. CPI-trained Behavior Interventionists have been hired in each building that meets with grade level teams weekly.”
