Publisher's Summary

From the renowned authority on education and parenting, "an in-depth approach to aid parents and teachers to work together with behaviorally challenging students" (Publishers Weekly) - now revised and updated.

School discipline is broken. Too often, the kids who need our help the most are viewed as disrespectful, out of control, and beyond help, and are often the recipients of our most ineffective, most punitive interventions. These students - and their parents, teachers, and administrators - are frustrated and desperate for answers.

Dr. Ross W. Greene, author of the acclaimed book The Explosive Child, offers educators and parents a different framework for understanding challenging behavior. Dr. Greene's Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) approach helps adults focus on the true factors contributing to challenging classroom behaviors, empowering educators to address these factors and create helping relationships with their most at-risk kids.

This revised and updated edition of Lost at School contains the latest refinements to Dr. Greene's CPS model, including enhanced methods for solving problems collaboratively, improving communication, and building relationships with kids.

Dr. Greene's lively, compelling narrative includes:

  • Tools to identify the problems and lagging skills causing challenging behavior
  • Explicit guidance on how to radically improve interactions with challenging kids and reduce challenging episodes - along with many examples showing how it's done
  • Practical guidance for successful planning and collaboration among educators, parents, and kids

Backed by years of experience and research and written with a powerful sense of hope and achievable change, Lost at School gives teachers and parents the realistic strategies and information to impact the classroom experience of every challenging kid (and their classmates).

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Great narration of an inspiring book

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book on a long road trip. The narration was engaging and clear. I appreciated knowing when the book switched from various subheadings such as "the story continues" or clearly breaking down lists of examples. I would recommend this book to teachers, parents or caregivers that work with "difficult behaviours".

great book

This book has a very different philosophy on dealing with challenging kids. It's worth a read/listen. Easy to read language and many concrete examples so you know what to do in your classroom/home. I enjoyed the story lines throughout the book that showed practical application and gave the book something extra (more than just theory, data, and examples).

Very helpful

Working with students to solve problems may seem harder at first but saves time in the long run. So true.

Lost at School / Found in the Classroom

Lost at School is a powerful story of being lost and found in the classroom. Of finding a place where you are safe, respected, and valued. Lost at School should be a must-read book for all teachers. Students will remain lost at school unless we take the time to find them in our classrooms. An absolutely powerful book, thank you for writing it!

he seems angry

His reading and voice are harsh. It is hard to take him seriously about how to deal with aggressive behaviour when his tone is aggressive.
