Crisis Prevention Institute Case Study

Elgin School District U-46

Introduction

This case study of Elgin School District U-46 is based on a June 2016 survey of Crisis Prevention Institute customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.

“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.).”

“We have seen the number of fights as well as student-on-student conflict reduced. We have had staff report that the techniques have helped them with difficult situations. We have been able to gain consistency in the implementations of these techniques in order to reduce the further growth of a crisis event. We have seen out-of-school suspensions reduced over 8 years by over 75% and expulsions for assault on staff reduced by over 60%.”

“We are using the CPI COPING Model(SM) as our re-entry plan for students after exclusionary discipline is used. We have become more organized in the use and outcomes of restraints.”

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