Course Overview
This course is built on a foundational shift: students do well if they can, not if they want to. Dr. Ross Greene’s Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS) approach treats behavioral challenges the same way we treat academic ones — as skills that need to be taught, not punished. Instead of relying on punitive measures that produce repeat offenders, CPS focuses on identifying the source of the problem, which Greene argues is the only place lasting solutions exist.
You’ll learn the specific steps for implementing CPS in your classroom, including how to identify lagging skills, build collaborative relationships with your most challenging students, and replace reactive discipline with a system that actually changes behavior over time.
