Galvanized and Mobilized in Calgary

Today's program featured an interview with System Principal Lori Pamplin from the Calgary (Alberta, Canada) public schools. Lori's been helping the assistant principals in her school system learn about Collaborative Problem Solving, and reported that folks were positive buoyant when first learning about the lagging skills and unsolved problems setting the stage for social, emotional, and behavioral challenges in students. Naturally, the challenge is to maintain the buoyancy when learning how to do Plan B and trying to apply the CPS model to the many different kids in the system whose unsolved problems and lagging skills have gone unattended for so long. Lori will keep us posted on progress in her school system next school year...but, in the meantime, this is a very informative, hopeful program. Do listen!
