SUMMARY:Moving From Power and Control to Collaboration and Problem Solving (and Meeting Kids Where They're At)
DESCRIPTION:Moving From Power and Control to Collaboration and Problem Solving (and Meeting Kids Where They’re At): The Collaborative and Proactive Solutions Model \n\nWhen: Dec. 11-12\, from 8:30 am to 3 pm each day. \nWhere: Wylie Inn and Conference Center\, Beverly\nRegister here\n\nCollaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) is the evidence-based\, trauma-informed\, neurodiversity affirming model of care that helps caregivers focus on identifying the problems that are causing concerning behaviors in kids and solving those problems collaboratively and proactively.  \nJoin us for a two-day session (Dec. 11-12) to learn more about CPS\, with a focus on building: \nKnowledge & Understanding \n\nExplain the key tenets of the CPS model\, including the belief that kids do well if they can.\nDifferentiate between traditional discipline approaches and CPS\, including the shift from “willful noncompliance” to “unsolved problems.”\nIdentify the core components of the three options for problem solving (Plans A\, B\, and C) and when each is most effective.\n\nSkill Development \n\nUse the Assessment of Skills and Unsolved Problems (ASUP) to identify skills students are struggling to access and prioritize unsolved problems.\nApply the Empathy Step (Step 1 of Plan B) to gather information from students in a nonjudgmental\, curious way.\nPractice the Define Adult Concerns Step (Step 2) to articulate adult concerns clearly and respectfully.\nDemonstrate the Invitation Step (Step 3) to collaboratively generate realistic and mutually satisfactory solutions.\n\nMindset & Application \n\nRecognize and reflect on their own assumptions and beliefs about student behavior\, and how these impact classroom practice.\nApply CPS concepts to real classroom scenarios\, including individual\, small group\, and whole-class situations.\nBuild confidence in shifting from reactive discipline to proactive problem-solving with students.\n\nThe CPS model is a departure from approaches emphasizing the use of consequences to modify concerning behaviors. In families\, general and special education schools\, inpatient psychiatric units\, and residential and juvenile detention facilities\, the CPS model has a track record of dramatically improving behavior and dramatically reducing or eliminating discipline referrals\, detentions\, suspensions\, restraints\, and seclusions. The CPS model is non-punitive\, non-exclusionary\, trauma-informed\, transdiagnostic\, and transcultural. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Curriculum Implementation Community of Reflective Practice
DESCRIPTION:There is plenty of guidance available to help districts select and adopt new curricula and aligned resources\, but the real challenge begins after adoption—when districts are often left to navigate implementation on their own. But once the curriculum tools are in classrooms\, what’s next? \nThis Community of Reflective Practice is designed to help districts currently engaged in\, or preparing to engage in\, curriculum implementation answer that question. Participants will: \n\nUnderstand the systems and structures that support effective change.\nCollaborate with peers across districts to share successes and challenges.\nLearn concrete strategies that can be put into practice immediately.\n\nSession leaders Heather Leonard (Manchester Essex Regional School District) and Val Drinan (WPS) will share lessons learned from their experience leading implementation across content areas\, grade levels\, and school contexts\, and create space for participants to share and reflect together. \nClick here to register.
