Crisis Prevention Institute Case Study

Wake County Public Schools – North Carolina

Introduction

This case study of Wake County Public Schools is based on a June 2016 survey of Crisis Prevention Institute customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.

“I have found value in the principles and techniques that are taught by 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.)”

“CPI has provided a nonviolent, supportive framework for addressing challenging behavior. The importance of verbal intervention strategies has been emphasized, and as a result, physical restraints have been reduced. Staff members have also seen the importance of acknowledging students’ feelings and thoughts, which supports the de-escalation process.”
