The purpose of Skillstreaming the Adolescent: Lesson Plans and Activities is to facilitate and support the use of this approach with adolescents in school classrooms and other direct learning settings.
Each of these lesson plans are adaptable to meet the individual needs of each child or teenager. This resource helps practitioners teach the fundamental life skills necessary for adolescents to reach their goals, both academic and personal.
This book additionally places emphasis on the integration of academic and behavioural learning in order to increase its utility in a variety of classroom settings.
Lessons include structured activities for teachers and others to sustain instruction in a set of skills and reinforce student skill use throughout the day. A wide variety of teacher-friendly common school practices such as listening, questioning, discussing, and applying critical thinking skills are included for each skill.
The lesson plans and activities in this book supplement the Skillstreaming text by providing specific learning activities, appropriate for whole classes or smaller, skills groups. Activities are included for each of the 50 skills included and are grouped as follows:
These lesson plans and activities are not intended to replace the direct instructional procedures included in the Skillstreaming the Adolescent Guide for Teaching Prosocial Skills, but instead are to be used after the actual direct teaching of each skill.
NB: It is essential for successful implementation of this curriculum to first have the program book (Skillstreaming the Adolescent: A Guide for Teaching Prosocial Skills) before attempting to utilise other Skillstreaming products.
"Lesson Plans and Activities for Adolescent Skillstreaming is a valuable supplemental resource for the widely used and highly acclaimed text. The guide includes plans and activities to stimulate the interest of adolescents, opportunities for prompting skill use, and specific activities to enhance applying the skills outside of the classroom. It is a significant addition to the Skillstreaming collection of intervention strategies."

"Skillstreaming the Adolescent is a systematic approach to teaching social skills through modeling, role-playing, and positive reinforcement. The book is a rare resource for teaching social skills to adolescents. As someone who has been a teacher, behavior specialist and an administrator of a residential setting, I can see the practical application. The lesson plans are easy to follow, and the role-play activities make the skills more relatable for teens."
- Craig Rosen, Special Education, Southeast Polk Middle School
"Skillstreaming the Adolescent: Lesson Plans and Activities is a great resource to use in providing explicit skill instruction for adolescents. The lesson plans and activities are easy to follow, engaging and highly effective in helping kids learn to self-regulate, generalize, manage, and apply skills across settings so that they can be independently successful! I recommend this to anyone who is working with adolescents in any setting!"
- Shawnda K. Goerish, co-author of Skillstreaming in Early Childhood: A Guide for Teaching Prosocial Skills
