Dr. J. Stuart Ablon and co-author Dr. Alisha Pollastri have been working with schools throughout the world to refine the Collaborative Problem-Solving (CPS) approach, creating a step-by-step program for educators based on the recognition—from research in neuroscience—that challenging classroom behaviors are due to a deficit of skill, not will. This book provides everything needed to implement the program, including reproducible assessment tools to pinpoint skill deficits in areas like frustration tolerance and flexibility that are at the root of students’ challenging behaviors.
The authors host a three-part interactive book club for The School Discipline Fix: Changing Behavior Using the Collaborative Problem Solving® Approach.
