Set social and behavioral guidelines and establish schoolwide social and behavioral standards for all children grades 16 (with IEP components for those with special needs).
Is it possible to establish standards for social skills like it is for math or reading? Authors Judi Kinney, a long time special education teacher, and Tom Kinney, a writer and editor, answer with a resounding yes!
Fifty-three social skills are organized to mesh with a typical school day: Getting ready, classroom behavior, transitions, breaks. Additional skills focus on peer relationships and common etiquette.
Each skill provides teacher guidelines and a student self-monitoring page. The guidelines include an objective with five benchmarks, problem solving checklist and a script for teachers to follow when reviewing the skill with students. Self-monitoring pages help students keep track of their social progress. The skills are broken down into five steps that correspond to the objective-based benchmarks.
Ideal for student portfolios. A concise record keeping system helps integrate the teaching of social skills into IEPs.
