Implementing Dr. Ross Greene's Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) Model in Your Classroom
Join Us Wednesday, September 9th @ 7PM EST
Meet Dr. Ross Greene:
Dr. Ross Greene is the originator of the Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) model and the author of The Explosive Child, Lost at School, Lost & Found, Raising Human Beings, and The Kids Who Aren't Okay. A clinical psychologist, he served on the faculty at Harvard Medical School for over 20 years and is now the Founding Director of the nonprofit Lives in the Balance, adjunct Professor in the Department of Psychology at Virginia Tech, and adjunct Professor in the Faculty of Science at the University of Technology Sydney.
His research has been funded by the National Institutes of Mental Health, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the U.S. Department of Education, and the CPS model is recognized as an evidence-based treatment by the California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse. He also developed and executive produced the award-winning documentary The Kids We Lose, and in 2025 was inducted into the Hall of Distinction at Virginia Tech.
He and his colleagues consult extensively to families, general and special education schools, inpatient and residential facilities, and systems of juvenile detention. His work is grounded in a single idea that has changed how educators around the world respond to students: kids do well if they can.

Why Attend?
In Part 1, Dr. Greene made the case: concerning behavior isn't poor motivation or attention seeking, it's the signal that a student lacks the skills to meet certain expectations. Kids do well if they can.
Part 2 is where the model meets your Monday morning. In this session, Dr. Greene walks through the how-to of Collaborative & Proactive Solutions: how to identify the lagging skills and unsolved problems behind a student's concerning behavior, and how to actually solve those problems with the student instead of doing things to them. This is the session where the paradigm shift becomes a practice you can run in your own classroom, with your own students, this school year.
Missed Part 1? You can still join for Part 2. Dr. Greene opens with a brief grounding in the model before going deep on implementation.
In this session, participants will:
- How to identify lagging skills and unsolved problems for a specific student, and why this assessment replaces the guesswork behind most behavior plans
- How to prioritize which unsolved problems to tackle first when a student has many
- How to solve problems collaboratively with a student, step by step, including what to say, what to avoid, and what to do when the conversation stalls
- Why proactive beats reactive, and how to move problem-solving out of the heat of the moment and into planned conversations
- How CPS fits your existing structures: IEPs, behavior plans, team meetings, and the realities of a special education caseload
- What implementation looks like over a school year, including the early bumps and how schools that succeed with the model push through them
This is an essential session for special education teachers, administrators, school psychologists, and related service providers who left Part 1 asking the right question: okay, but how?
