Product Description A practical, compassionate, effective approach to helping students with behavioral challenges. Lost & Found is a follow-up to Dr. Ross Greene's landmark works, The Explosive Child and Lost at School, providing educators with highly practical, explicit guidance on implementing his evidence-based Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) model with behaviorally-challenging students. While the first two books described Dr. Greene's non-punitive, non-adversarial approach and described implementation on a macro level, Lost & Found provides more explicit details on key facets of the CPS model, including using the Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems and solving problems collaboratively (and coaching others to do so). Readers will learn how to incorporate students' input in understanding the factors making it difficult for them to meet expectations and in generating mutually satisfactory solutions. Specific strategies, sample dialogues, and time-tested advice help educators implement these techniques immediately. The groundbreaking CPS approach has been a revelation for parents and educators of behaviorally-challenging children. This book gives educators the concrete guidance they need to immediately begin working more effectively with these students. Implement CPS one-on-one or with an entire class Work collaboratively with students to solve problems Study sample dialogues of CPS in action Change the way difficult students are treated The discipline systems used in most K-12 schools are obsolete, and aren't working for the kids to whom they're most often applied: those with behavioral challenges. Lost & Found provides a roadmap to a different paradigm, helping educators radically transform the way they go about helping their most challenging students. Review "For anyone who has had the pleasure of hearing Ross Greene talk about how to work with young people -- and who has wished that you could bottle him -- here, finally, is the bottle! He shares in clear prose how to open the doors to the communication and collaboration that give rise to real growth and understanding. His approach is so reasonable, so empathic, and so effective that having this guide is a true gift. With no jargon to overcome, and an approach grounded in the common ingredients of effective counseling, Dr. Greene offers readers a clear and good-natured map with examples of problems everyone who knows and works with children will recognize." -- LAURA ROGERS, EdD, Co-Director, School Psychology Program, Department of Education, Tufts University From the Author "I wrote Lost & Found as a followup to Lost at School...it provides a lot of the technical information that I couldn't include in Lost at School, along with commentary from educators who've been implementing the Collaborative & Proactive Solutions model in their schools. I really wanted to make sure their voices were heard. They make it clear that transforming the ways in which we treat our most vulnerable students is not only doable but also absolutely crucial." -- Ross Greene From the Inside Flap Lost & Found is the next-step resource to the groundbreaking books The Explosive Child and Lost at School. In Lost & Found, Dr. Ross W. Greene provides educators, parents, and other caregivers with the practical guidance needed for implementing his empirically-supported Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) problem solving model with behaviorally challenging students. The CPS model helps caregivers understand and help behaviorally challenging students in ways that are non-punitive, non-adversarial, skill-building, relationship-enhancing, collaborative, proactive, and--most importantly-- helpful. Lost & Found is a hands-on guide that provides the details for applying the CPS model for anyone who interacts with challenging children on a daily basis. It addresses the needs of students whose difficulties meeting social, emotional, or behavioral expectati
