Skillstreaming the Adolescent employs a four-part training approach—modelling, role-playing, performance feedback, and generalisation—to teach essential prosocial skills to adolescents. This book provides a complete description of the Skillstreaming program, with instructions for teaching 50 prosocial skills.
Part 1: Skillstreaming Program Content and Implementation
Chapters on effective Skillstreaming arrangements, Skillstreaming teaching procedures, refining skill use, teaching for skill generalisation, managing behaviour problems, Skillstreaming in the school context, and more.
Part 2: Skill Outlines and Homework Reports
Skill outlines are handy one-page summaries for each skill, including skill steps, guidelines for skill instruction, and suggested situations for modelling displays. Homework reports list skill steps and guide students in practising the skills and evaluating skill use outside the Skillstreaming group.
Skill Areas • Classroom Survival Skills • Friendship-Making Skills • Skills for Dealing with Feelings • Skill Alternatives to Aggression • Skills for Dealing with Stress
Appendixes provide all program forms needed to ensure a successful Skillstreaming intervention, plus leader and observer checklists to ensure program integrity.
This widely acclaimed approach developed by Dr. Arnold P. Goldstein and colleagues, is now in 8½×11 format with reproducible skill outlines, skill homework reports, and program forms. Now includes forms CD.
