In this program, Dr. Ross Greene -- author of The Explosive Child and Lost at School, and originator of the Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) approach -- helps you view challenging behavior in a more compassionate, accurate, productive manner and intervene more effectively. Want to learn more about the CPS model? Do you have questions about how to get the ball rolling on using the model in your building or classroom? Are you running into trouble in your attempts to use the model with a particular student? This is your opportunity to get your questions answered and listen to how other educators are using the model and overcoming some of the hurdles involved in responding more effectively to the needs of behaviorally challenging kids in schools.

Are you running into trouble in your attempts to use the model with a particular student?

After that, the ALSUP pretty much gives you all the information you need to write your Behavior Plan...except that you might want to change the name of that document and call it a Problem Solving Plan instead.

Drilling can be quite challenging, and especially so if the adult is more focused on potential solutions than on what to ask to clarify the student's concern or perspective.  Dr. Greene described what drilling looked like with one of the students with whom he did Plan B in the past week.  Thanks to a caller, an example of "tough drilling" was also discussed.  Don't forget:  you have a better chance of getting the Empathy step rolling if you're as specific as possible about the unsolved problem you're trying to discuss.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2667</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>behavior problems at school,collaborative problem solving,educators,parents,school discipline</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/images.spreaker.com/nuvolari-assets/green_square_mic.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>CPS Goes to School:  The Real Deal</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/cps-goes-to-school-the-real-deal--63619695</link><description><![CDATA[In this program, Dr. Greene interviews Dr. Craig Murphy, school psychologist in the Newton, Massachusetts Public School system.
