LEARNING ABOUT COLLABORATIVE PROBLEM
SOLVING
THE ROSS GREENE MODEL
Samantha Hook, Michelle Lawson, Courtney Witmer, Melissa Blakeney, Mary Herzig
QUOTE FROM ROSS GREENE’S BOOK: TREATING EXPLOSIVE KIDS
“Paradoxically they [students] are among the most poorly understood
child and adolescent clinical populations.” (p. 1)
ROSS GREENE Collaborative Problem Solving
-Student and teacher working together to create a solution after both have voiced their
concerns in great detail and both parties understand.
-Takes less time than yelling, writing names on the board, or taking away tickets..it saves
time!!
PLAN B TASKS TO COMPLETE TO PROBLEM SOLVE
1st – Unsolved Problem 2nd – Adult taking the lead 3rd – Kid’s Concerns Identified (empathy) 4th – Adult’s Concerns Identified
(defining the problem) 5th – Solution agreed upon
UNSOLVED PROBLEMS
Identify the specific conditions under which challenging behavior
is occurring (with whom, over what, where, and when are
challenging episodes occurring)
ADULT TAKING LEAD ON PLAN B
The person who is talking with the student to figure out their concerns
about the problem
Plan B Video
KID’S CONCERNS IDENTIFIED (EMPATHY)
Adult is trying to gather information to clarify kid’s concerns/perspective about the unsolved problem. The main goal is to make the best possible sense of kid’s
concerns/perspective
"I’ve noticed that homework has been a bit of a struggle lately, and I know
that’s no fun for you“. using "I've noticed" is the best way to show
empathy because shows meaning.
ADULT CONCERNS IDENTIFIED (DEFINE THE PROBLEM STEP)
Adults show their perspective and concerns on the unsolved problem.
The definition of defining the problem is simply two concerns that have yet to be
reconciled. Plan B cannot move forward if the adults concerns are poorly specified. You have to have both concerns on the table in order for this step to move on
SOLUTION AGREED UPON(INVITATION)
Child and teacher are brain storming solutions together. The main goal is to
come up with a solution that will address the concerns of each party.
The key word in initiation of the invitation is "Let's"
Let's think about how we can solve that problem.
Let's see if we can figure that out. Let's see what we can do about that.
IS THE PROBLEM SOLVED?
Check Yes or No and comment on the solution. If the problem has not been
solved return to empathy step.
USEFUL FOR KEEPING TRACK OF THE UNSOLVED PROBLEMS YOU’RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON
AND WHERE YOU ARE IN THE PROCESS OF SOLVING THEM.
PLAN B FLOW CHARTUnsolved Problem- Identify the specific
conditions under which challenging behavior is occurring (with whom, over what, where, and when are challenging episodes occurring)
Adult Taking Lead on Plan B-
The person who is talking with the
student to figure out their concerns about
the problem
Kid’s concerns identified (empathy step)- Adult is trying to gather information to clarify kid’s concerns/perspective about the
unsolved problem. The main goal is to make the best possible
sense of kid’s concerns/perspective.
Adult concerns identified (define the problem step)
–Adults show their perspective and concerns on the unsolved problem.
Solution agreed upon (invitation) – child and
teacher are brainstorming solutions together. The main goal is to come up with a solution that will address the concerns of
each party.
Problem Solved?Check Yes or No and
comment on the solution. If the problem has not been solved return to empathy
step.
