This training event features Dr. Ross Greene´s Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS) for working with behaviorally challenging students as described in his influential books The Explosive Child, Lost at School, Lost & Found, and Raising Using Beings. The CPS model has transformed thinking and practices in countless families, schools, inpatient psychiatry units, and residential and juvenile detention facilities throughout the world, and has been associated with dramatic reductions in adult-child conflict, challenging behaviors, disciplinary referrals, detentions, suspensions, seclusions, and restraints. The CPS model represents a significant departure from discipline-as-usual. It focuses on solving problems rather than on modifying behavior; emphasizes collaborative rather than unilateral solutions; encourages proactive rather than reactive intervention; de-emphasizes diagnostic categories; and provides practical, research-based tools for assessment and intervention.

Presenter: Ross Greene, Ph.D.

This training is designed specifically for Local Educational Agency (LEA) representatives engaged in the Indicator 13 Successful Practices in Secondary Transition for this year.
