Dr Geoff James, founder of The Solutions Focused Coach, introduces the idea of using a solution focused approach in school.
We discuss how current trends towards behaviourist, reward and punishment, styles of discipline in schools may not be providing the answers that schools are looking for. We explore a different way to approach the 'problem' that draws on knowledge of neuropsychology and promotes the agency of the young person.
