Why traditional school discipline is broken -- Students do well if they can: what is getting in the way? -- Challenging behavior is predictable and preventable -- Assess students' thinking: a deficit of skill, not will -- Plan A, B, or C? there are only three options -- Plan B: empathize, share, collaborate -- Teach skills while solving real problems, not as an academic exercise -- How plan B changes the brain -- Practice, practice, practice: planning and troubleshooting -- When students are stuck: direct skills training -- Group plan B: problem-solving with multiple students -- School-wide change and implementation -- No pain, no gain: common challenges -- Data matter: what the research shows -- Adults do well if they can: plan b with other teachers and parents

"A complete guide to a paradigm-shifting model of school discipline. Disruptive students need problem-solving skills, not punishment. Challenging students lack the skill--not the will--to behave. The authors' evidence-based approach allows teachers to dramatically reduce challenging classroom behaviors while helping even the most disruptive students gain the skills they need to succeed inside and outside the classroom. Step-by-step guidance and exercises are provided to help K- 12 educators implement the CPS model in both general and special-education settings"--
