Develop a behavioral growth mindset!
Join Dr. Stuart Ablon to learn what Collaborative Problem Solving® is all about!
Collaborative Problem Solving® (CPS) is an entirely different way of understanding and meeting the needs of all children, including those with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges. Join us to learn how to identify what’s really causing challenging behavior and unmet expectations and how to partner with your students to develop solutions.
The CPS approach aligns with CASEL's 5 core competencies, integrates with MTSS frameworks, PBIS, and restorative practices, is evidence-based, neuro-biologically and trauma-informed, and child and family-centered.
