Practical SFBT in Education
1,000 Solution-Focused Questions and Techniques for Teachers, Counselors, and Mentors to Inspire Change
For years, traditional approaches to helping students, mentees, and clients have focused on problem analysis-digging into the "why" of every struggle, hoping that a solution magically appears. Spoiler: It rarely does. Practical SFBT in Education flips the script. It hands you 1,000 practical, tested questions and techniques designed to move learners forward-without spending years unpacking every minor setback.
