Skillstreaming the Elementary School Child employs a four-part training approach—modelling, role-playing, performance feedback, and generalisation—to teach essential prosocial skills to elementary school students. This book provides a complete description of the Skillstreaming program, with instructions for teaching 60 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
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, comes in a large (US letter) format with reproducible skill outlines, skill homework reports, and program forms. Reproducible forms and handouts for this title are available from a downloads page.
