Transforming Discipline

At school and at home, kids who behave badly are not responding to the usual forms of discipline. Rewards and consequences – even suspension and expulsion – do not lead to durable change for the better. That’s where a new approach can make all the difference.  This six part video series  shows how the Collaborative & Proactive Solutions model (CPS) is being used in schools to transform discipline

The Collaborative & Proactive Solutions Model (CPS)

In countless families, classrooms, schools, inpatient psychiatry units, residential facilities and juvenile correction facilities, Dr. Greene’s Collaborative & Proactive Solutions model (CPS) has been shown to be an effective way to reduce challenging behavior and teach kids the skills they need to function adaptively in the real world.
