Looking forward to the upcoming book study.

I'm looking forward to our upcoming book study!  Besides the book "Lost At School", Ross Greene's non-profit Lives in the Balance has a website with tons of resources - www.livesinthebalance.org

I first heard Ross Greene speak at the Michigan Association of School Social Workers Conference about 7 years ago.  I immediately ordered "Lost at School" and read it.  I have heard him several times since and have also done some training with him. I was able to attend his 5th Annual Summit on Non-Adversarial and Non-Punitive Interventions for Kids in Portland, Maine last October.  I am looking forward to sharing some experiences using Collaborative and Proactive Solutions with some of my students.
