EP 39: Kids Do Well If They Can: Rethinking Behavior and Belonging in Schools

In this episode, Laine Whitaker and co-host Colleen Patterson, Director of Development of Effective School Solutions, welcome Dr. Ross Greene, clinical psychologist, author, and creator of the Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS) model. They discuss how “kids do well if they can,” why unmet skills drive challenging behavior, and how CPS reduces suspensions and punitive discipline. The conversation provides a compassionate, research-based framework for educators and leaders seeking more effective approaches to student behavior.
