Conventional disciplinary methods like detention and suspension often fail to address the root causes of challenging student behavior. Lost at School by Ross W. Greene presents an alternative: the Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) approach.

CPS shifts the focus from punishment to collaboratively identifying the lagging skills and unsolved problems underlying a student's behavior. Greene lays out specific steps educators can take to understand each student's unique challenges and work cooperatively to develop mutually agreeable solutions. This collaborative method requires significant cultural changes in schools, but promises transformative results when implemented effectively.
