"As an educator, you probably recognize that punitive, exclusionary discipline helps no one. Fortunately, there is an evidence-based, compassionate alternative. The Guided Tour is going to take you through the three components of the Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) model, as described in Dr. Ross Greene’s books Lost at School and Lost & Found. The model has dramatically reduced discipline referrals, detentions, suspensions, restraint, and seclusion in lots of schools."
"Rather than focusing on kids’ interfering behaviors (and modifying them), CPS helps kids and caregivers solve the problems that are causing those behaviors. The problem solving is collaborative (not unilateral) and proactive (not reactive). Research has shown that the model is effective not only at solving problems and improving behavior but also at enhancing skills."
