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

“CPI training has led to improved student outcomes due to an increase in direct instruction time (for instance – test scores, student grades, graduation rates, etc.).”

“I believe that we have made great gains with CPI. We struggle with our ever-revolving staff as well as not having all of our staff trained within the district.”

“CPI gives structure and consistency through the Nonviolent Crisis Intervention® training. We use this training for many types of employees within the district: teachers, paraprofessionals, bus drivers, bus paras, as well as building administration.”

“CPI promotes the idea of treating everybody with dignity and respect. This is critical in our district because we keep all students in their least restrictive environment. One concept that this has brought forward is how to resist creating escalating behavior vs. a power play or ‘allowing’ a student to have his way (how to give the student space to process his/her behavior).”
