Have you filled out the School Discipline Survey on the Lives in the Balance website yet? The Educators Panel members did that very thing on today's program.
Individual At-Risk Plans
Dec 19, 2011
Show notes
Is it a good idea to identify and track at-risk students? Of course! And the CPS model provides the paperwork to help schools do it: the ALSUP, Plan B Flowchart, and Plan B Cheat Sheet.
Anytown High School #14
Dec 12, 2011
Show notes
Our friends at Anytown High School have been doing a lot more Plan B lately...and that means they're gathering a lot of information about what's making it hard for their students to learn and behave appopriately, and getting a lot of problems solved. That's about as exciting as it gets in the CPS Territories.
December Educators Panel
Dec 05, 2011
Show notes
If we spend all of our meeting time talking about things about which we can do nothing, staff will emerge from those meetings assuming they can do nothing to help the behaviorally challenging students we're discussing. But what if we spend our meeting time talking about lagging skills and unsolved problems with the ALSUP as our discussion guide?

Thanks to a caller, this program focused on the difficulties that can pop up when Collaborative Problem Solving is being implemented. A very informative program!

"Therapeutic Restraint" is a Contradiction in Terms

Show notes
The title of the program pretty much says it all, though it's not the only topic Dr. Greene covered.
Anytown #13: Getting to the Bottom of Unsolved Problems
Oct 24, 2011
Show notes
Very interesting discussion about why it's so important to understand a student's concern or perspective on a given unsolved problem...if we don't achieve that understanding, then we'll be relegated to solutions that don't address the student's concerns (and that don't solve the problem either).
Anytown High School #12
Oct 17, 2011
Show notes
Anytown High School has arrived at the "hump": the point at which the lenses of Collaborative Problem Solving are starting to feel right and they're now clear that a lot of their students need CPS...but they're just getting good at Plan B...and they're starting to feel a little overwhelmed. A tempting time to go back to what wasn't working all along...but rather the time to prioritize, systematize, and help more staff become proficient at Plan B.
October Educators Panel
Oct 03, 2011
Show notes
