Very excited to share this accessible and affordable way to introduce our Collaborative Problem Solving approach to staff in therapeutic programs!

My pleasure! Great to work with such a passionate constellation of educators today!

Proponents of detention / suspension argue that it's not fair for badly behaved students to interfere w/ the learning of the well behaved students in class. Not so fast! This study suggests ALL students suffer academically from exclusionary discipline

#Educators join us 5/17 for a virtual conference on the alternatives to exclusionary time out in #Massachusetts #schools . Hear from the US Department of Justice, Mass Attorney General’s Office, The Alliance Against Seclusion and Restraint, & Hallie Carpenter from Think:Kids in Room #4! bit.ly/3VIqklF

I am in favor of banning things that are ineffective & often harmful. But we need to be careful not to take things away w/o offering effective alternatives - lest things get even worse. We need to ensure educators have access to effective alternatives! buff.ly/4cAVm4Z

Concerning behavior occurs in the gap between expectations & skills. Despite heroic efforts from educators, students' skills did not keep pace with increasing demands during the pandemic. Our disciplinary approaches must now prioritize skill development buff.ly/3IQFwWm

And yet another example of this troubling trend across the US. We need to build back our social networks & leverage mental health interventions that are scalable but still relational! buff.ly/4aq2OOq

Chilling data from my hometown. Nearly half of Boston public high school students felt sad / hopeless every day for 2 weeks or more. Highest rates right in my backyard. The urgent call for innovative solutions is evident Think:Kids buff.ly/3TLpmUz

During my visit to Marshalltown in 2018 after the tornado, I was struck by all the hope & gratitude despite so much loss. Proud to work w/ great leaders like Matt Cretsinger to introduce Collaborative Problem Solving to help during the challenging times that have followed as well

Wow, evidence for the negative impact of school suspension for minor offenses just keeps growing. Now, there's evidence that these suspensions lead to poor outcomes for WELL-behaved students, through an interesting mechanism. goo.gl/scholar/e6zt6o

Great opportunity for schools in MA to secure funding to work with us Think:Kids to implement our Collaborative Problem Solving approach!

Why are we seeing so much dysregulation at home, #school , and everywhere we turn? Dr. Stuart Ablon explains that behavior challenges happen when there is a gap between our skills and expectations.
