Mr. Greene poses three options for solving problems (Plan A, Plan B, Plan C). Plan A causes challenging behavior in challenging kids according to Mr. Greene. He states that, "if you throw plan A who doesn't have the skills to handle plan A well, the definition of maladaptive behavior has just been met and you have just greatly heightened the likelihood of this kid doing something on the spectrum of behaviors that people exhibit when they don't have the skills to do better." Overall, plan A increases and causes challenging behavior in challenging kids. Plan A feels convenient. I have used plan A in my classroom when I have had an unmet expectation. For example, when a student refused to sit in their sit, I told they they have to or they must. I have also counted down from 3 or 5 to allow time for my student to complete a task that had been unmet previously.
Plan B is when you're doing collaborative problem solving. Mr. Greene states that Plan B is not a 'battle picking model, because it's not about battling.' Helping challenging kids take a while and there is no quick fix. I have used plan B in my classroom when I have had an unmet expectation. I have worked together with students to solve a problem and worked together to come to a solution when there has been an unmet expectation.
