CPS focuses on teaching global skills such as flexibility/adaptability, frustration tolerance, problem solving, and emotion regulation that help students respond adaptively to problems. CPS helps make interventions proactive rather than reactive and focus on the root of the unsolved problem instead of reacting to the behavior concerns. CPS promotes a problem-solving partnership that engages kids in solving problems that affect their lives and produces effective, durable solutions that enhances skills.
You will learn what Dr. Ross Greene describes as a paradigm shift in how we approach student behavior, and you will have an opportunity to apply some of the tools and strategies from Dr. Ross Greene, including the ASUP (Assessment of Skills and Unsolved Problems). Come with a student in mind with whom you might like to try the CPS approach!
