Tools For Teaching Social Skills In School: Lesson Plans, Activities and Blended Teaching Techniques to Help Your Student Succeed

Help prevent problem behaviours and actually increase time available for academics by teaching social skills to students. Tools for Teaching Social Skills in School provides teachers with:

• Lesson plans with activities that can be adapted for students in grades K-12. The plans include suggestions for discussion, activities, journaling, role play, and reading.
• Reproducible skill pages that you can hand out or post in the classroom as reminders to students and coupons you can use to reward good behaviour.
• Techniques for "blending" the teaching of social skills into academic lessons in reading, writing, math, and social studies.
• Ideas for using bulletin board displays and individual student graphs to motivate and monitor behaviour.
• Strategies for increasing parent support.

An ideal companion to More Tools for Teaching Social Skills in School, this workbook targets 28 social skills including following instructions, staying on task, working with others, accepting criticism, listening, ignoring distractions, making a good choice, sharing, and showing respect. The authors train other teachers, administrators, and other school staff across the United States in the Boys Town Education Model.

Includes a CD-Rom with reproducible worksheets and skill posters.
