This summer, rethink how you respond to challenging behavior in the classroom.

What if behavior isn’t about motivation… but missing skills?

In our Essential Foundation course, educators learn how to:
✔️ Identify what’s really causing unmet expectations
✔️ Build skills instead of relying on consequences
✔️ Solve problems collaboratively with students

This course is for educators who:
• Feel stuck with the same behavior challenges
• Want something beyond rewards and consequences
• Care deeply about relationships with students
• Are ready for a more effective, compassionate approach

Start the school year with a new lens—and tools you can actually use.

🍎📚 Starting strong: pre-service teachers who received 16 hours of Collaborative Problem Solving® (CPS) training are already transforming how they handle classroom challenges.

These future educators have learned that behavior isn’t a choice but a skill gap—and CPS provides actionable strategies, such as de-escalation techniques and conversation frameworks, so they can respond thoughtfully, not reactively.

Results of a mixed-methods study show that after learning CPS, student-teachers are more prepared to manage behavior in the classroom.
