HOW THE SOLUTION FOCUSED APPROACH WORKS
In problem-focused approaches, too much time is spent on identifying what is not working, instead of looking in a variety of contexts for times when things are working.
Using the solution-focused approach, empowerment takes place in the very first meeting and keeps everyone focused on the direction of choice.
For example, a twelve year old with repetitive behavior problems would be asked: "can you tell me about times when you don't let the behavior take you over...what is different then? What do you do, where are you, what are you thinking about, what are your parents or teachers doing?"

BOOKS OF THE MONTH
REVISED AND UPDATED. This book provides a solution-focused approach to working alongside students, parents, and teachers that decreases misbehaviors, encourages mental health and growth mindset in students, and provides social emotional learning opportunities.
Complete with specific dialogues for students of all ages, and case studies, this text provides school counselors with a road map to looking beyond problems and seeking solutions with students, creating grit and resilience.
Solution-Focused RTI provides an effective approach to Response-to-Intervention using a "solution-focused" method, which emphasizes a student's strengths rather than his or her weaknesses. This important book guides educators to identify exceptions to students' learning problems and design personalized interventions that can help those students succeed.
