Goals of Presentation
Be AWARE of all the social skills involved in school Be AWARE that behavior may indicate a social skill
deficit ACCEPT that social skills must be taught just like
any other skill. Take away five (5) ideas that you will think
about/use/apply to make you a better teacher – “a better person” would be a stretch!

When do we perceive that people have good “social skills”?
When they share space effectively; often non-
verbally.

Lessons will be learned. . . .
How do typical kids learn social skills? How do kids with social cognition deficits learn?
– Missed lessons – deficits– Wrong lessons – maladaptive behavior
Then they are perceived as “bad” kids.
WE HAVE TO TEACH
THE SKILLS ! ! !

A lack of social skills leads to difficulties in school, peer rejection, academic failures, and depression!!!
![Page 18: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

![Page 21: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Social Skills in the Middle and High School General Education Setting
Lessons on working in groups Lessons on participating in discussions Lessons on interacting with teachers Skill of the week – use a “cue” that fits the subject
area Citizenship training Expand on County/School word of week or thought
for the day Individual conferences
![Page 22: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Teach Abstract/Inferential
Clearly teach there are 2 forms of language: Literal and figurative
Teach kids HOW TO OBSERVE Teach kids to make “educated guesses” Teach kids to make connections with what
they see and what they hear – Emotions and words together– Keeping up in the classroom
![Page 23: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Social skills instruction should include -
giving students the rationale – convincing them!!!! stress management self-esteem self-confidence listening skills coping with bullying, teasing, criticism recreational/leisure skills understanding family dynamics protecting ourselves advocating and seeking help developing positive character traits
![Page 24: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
But here is the question -
How can we tackle some of those
REAL
social skills in the special education and
general education settings –
and across a school?
![Page 25: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Ideas on where to begin in schools:
Recognize the difference between how we assess students academically and deficits in social cognition. Measuring one domain may not reveal the other!
Realize that work to increase social awareness will also help within the classroom
Realize that smart kids can have significant social cognitive disabilities.
TEACH social skills!
![Page 26: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Set behavioral standards, and help the student learn WHY and HOW his behavior falls within or outside of those standards.
Appreciate that kids with social cognitive deficits are bullied and teased by socially savvy students more than any adult can imagine. Establish a ZERO TOLERANCE policy for bullies in schools! DON’T tell kids that they just need to put up with it since all kids are teased! Develop a social thinking group on every campus to help teach students how to relate to others and how to cope with negative social relationships.
Appreciate that teaching ALL students about perspective taking is VALUABLE, even if not MEASUREABLE!
![Page 27: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Creating a Positive School Climate
- A setting where people appreciate individuality and contributions
- All students know they are valued and respected members of the school community
![Page 28: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Positive School Climate
Learn and use student’s names and know something about each one.
Use homeroom time to build a sense of community. Provide opportunities for conversation among students.
Provide unstructured time when students can practice social skills with peers and receive feedback.
![Page 29: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Positive School Climate
Encourage journal writing to improve self-awareness.
Provide extracurricular activities that don’t require tryouts or auditions. Provide accommodations as needed.
Provide opportunities for the students to give feedback about their daily experience at school; take that input seriously.
![Page 30: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Positive School Climate
Make a point of connecting informally with individual students having difficulties; the student will then feel notices and cared for; adult will also be more aware if the student needs a more formal intervention
![Page 31: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Embedding - Assessment
Identify skill vs performance deficits
Key!!!!
Is it motivation?
Is it non-compliance?
Is it stress?
Or, are these things caused by a skills deficit?
![Page 33: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Embedding - Assessment
Monitor behavior – take data! Select and prioritize replacement skills.
This one is harder than you think! Conduct reinforcement surveys. Make a plan; meet with the student(s).
![Page 34: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Embedding - Instruction
Engage in daily morning meeting activities
that practice skills. Take advantage of teachable moments. Connect social behaviors to academic skills.

![Page 35: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Embedding - Instruction
Teach social skills the same way you teach academics.
Teach social skills in context. Role play! Provide examples and non-examples.

![Page 37: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Embedding - Generalization
Involve other members of the school faculty. Involve parents!
![Page 38: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The Hidden Curriculum
Unstated Rules in Social Situations
![Page 39: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
We are surrounded on a daily basis by such unstated rules or customs that make the world a confusing place. This is known as the hidden curriculum.
The hidden curriculum contains items that impact social interactions, school performance, and sometimes safety.
![Page 40: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The Hidden Curriculum:
Reading the Hidden Curriculum of Body Language
Differs Across Age
Differs Across Gender
Differs Depending on Who You Are With
Cultures Each Have Their Own Hidden Curriculum
![Page 41: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Where is the Impact? School Home Community Workplace Legal System
![Page 42: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Examples of areas of “hidden curriculum” -
Bathroom Rules Clothing Friendships in the Classroom School Locker Room School Dances Bullying and Tattling Telling Jokes
![Page 43: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
The “4” Greatest Things to Know
Make them a part of what you naturally do in your classroom every day!
Live Out LoudDo-Overs
TEACH the Routines, Rules, and ProceduresCheck-Ins
![Page 44: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Live Out Loud
As a teacher, model your thought process OUT LOUD whenever possible:
“I am feeling really stressed right now…..”
“I have this problem…..”
“Let me think what I need to do this….”
“We are going to the media center, but….”
![Page 45: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Share the agenda/plans – state the obvious – “live out loud”
Simplify the language – “reading between the lines” – understanding abstract concepts like sarcasm – interpreting facial expressions or body language - Avoid: “cute” names, idioms, double meanings, teasing
![Page 46: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
“Do-Overs”
Would you like to do that over? Why don’t you try that again? Would you like to make a different choice?
![Page 47: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
TEACH
TEACH students what you want them to do! (We too often focus on what we don’t want them to do!)
Learning the “rules” of a situation and/or setting is a social skill – and learning how to function successfully in that teacher’s classroom is a part of social skills!
![Page 48: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Rules– Make the rules clear– Post the rules– Remind the student of the rule(s)– Give a personal copy when necessary– Highlight the most significant rules
![Page 49: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Procedures/Routines– Teach the procedures– Role-play the procedures– Give reminders about the procedures– Provide student with a checklist of routines –
morning routine, packing up routine, getting ready for lunch routine, at-the-locker routine
![Page 50: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Check-ins!!!
Determine what “plan” or language will be used – a number or color scale – or student decided!
Ask “Where are you?” Student should respond. Teacher’s response based on student!
![Page 51: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Proactive Component
Stress Management must be taught– Students can’t be expected to do something they haven’t
been taught
Developing lesson plans – teach specific stress management techniques and when to use them!– Deep Breathing– Count to Ten– Happy Book/Poster/Pictures– Relaxation Techniques – Use Scripts– Creative Visualization– Progressive Muscle Relaxation
![Page 52: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
When to teach -
When students are calm - Beginning of class End of class Practice before a test During morning work Role model why a good time to use
![Page 53: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Stress Management Toolbox
Classroom Tool Box – have a visual representation. Each Student has a toolbox – a visual representation that can
be referred to. The “tools” are the stress management techniques the student
has learned. Students add to the tool box as they learn new strategies.
![Page 54: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Creating Your Tool BoxBreak Systems
Taking a break! The student is going to end up missing instruction or leaving your classroom AFTER the behavior – why not teach taking a break BEFORE the behavior!
Table BreaksIn-room BreaksAway Breaks
TEACH the system – what is allowed, when, and for how long!
![Page 55: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Table Breaks
should occur at early signs of frustration or escalation.
They involve short breaks that the student can do at his/her
desk or Examples include: head down on desk, turning his paper
over, pushing himself away from his desk, stretching arms & legs up and out (making sure not to touch anyone sitting next to him), standing up briefly and pushing on his desk (without moving desk).
![Page 56: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Local or In-Room Breaks
breaks that the Student can take if he/she is feeling mildly stressed
needs to get up from his/her desk but does not require leaving the room
students should be taught what to do/what is allowed and for how long
Examples include: sharpen a pencil; get a tissue; stretch in the back of the room; go to designated spot
![Page 57: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Away Breaks
Break will take longer; student’s behavior will become disruptive if doesn’t have a change
Examples include: -Wall push ups-Bathroom break-Drink of water-A few walks up and down the hallway-Errands (non reinforcing)-See the counselor or designated adult
![Page 58: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Social Problem Solving
Have a class template for solving a problem – it should list pros and cons, the choice made.
Have a method or form for predicting what will be “faced” that day -
![Page 59: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Understanding Perspective...
Considering the thoughts and emotions, motive, intentions, beliefs, prior experiences and personality of yourself and others around you.
Use literature to teach social skills – at all grade levels!
![Page 60: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Four steps to Perspective Taking
I think about you. I think about WHY you are near me or talking
to me. What is your intent? I think about what you are thinking about me I monitor and regulate my behavior to keep
you thinking about me the way I want you to think about me!
![Page 61: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Social Autopsies
Take apart a situation with a student who is upset by something that happened or confused by something that happened
Can be done through discussion when student is not upset
Goal is to help student understand what happened and PERSPECTIVE TAKING
Can be done in writing
![Page 62: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Many, many examples of forms -
The autopsy allows for analyzing a social skills problem by dissecting social incidents. When a social error occurs, the student with AS works with an adult to (a) identify the social error or mistake, (b) determine who was harmed by the mistake, (c) decide how to correct the mistake, and (d) develop a plan to ensure that the mistake does not reoccur.
![Page 63: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Debriefing
Briefer discussions that have the same goal as social autopsies
Pair with Check-ins
![Page 64: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Finding Your Place
Students need to know where they fit in
and
they need to find some contentment in school.
![Page 65: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Lunch Partners/Bunch
Choose specific students – think about the grouping! Decide how often. Should some students have “training?”

Start a “game” club or an extracurricular club. Give the student “jobs” across the school. Have the student help with morning
announcements.

Social Games
To promote social situations between children with disabilities and typical peers
Short activities – 10 to 15 minutes in length Structured activity – groups assigned prior to lesson Any activity that will promote interaction between peers
– Jump rope– Play catch– Duck, duck, goose– Toss bean bags– Handout
![Page 68: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
“SELF”
Self-Advocacy
Self-Esteem
Self-Confidence
![Page 69: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Make sure the students knows his or her accommodations –
And knows how to ask for them!
![Page 70: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Replace the function of the behavior –
If the function is “escape/avoidance”
are all the academic accommodations being provided?
If the function is “attention” –
Can we find other ways for the student to receive attention?
![Page 71: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Have we provided student with an effective way of communicating to us?– Self-determination (choices/preferences)– Need to escape or be alone– Communicating “I need help.”
![Page 72: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Provide opportunities for variable grading
All kids get tired of low grades all the time!
![Page 73: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Give student a “time to shine.”
Catch him or her “being good.”
![Page 74: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
“Give it Up Strategy”
Choose an “item” that represents the class. Every student gets the “item.” Establish a goal to “give it up.” Make sure all students participate. Examples: pay a compliment, ask a question
of the teacher, ask a question of a peer, work without talking, smile!
![Page 75: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Build Independence
Checklists –– Elementary – pictures or words – routines,
procedures, schedule, center order, etc.– Middle – words – routines, procedures,
reminders, class assignments, etc.– High – words or blank – what to do this period,
steps of a lab or project, etc.
![Page 76: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Teach Abstract/Inferential:
Clearly teach there are 2 forms of language: Literal and figurative
Teach them HOW TO OBSERVE Teach them to make “educated guesses” Teach them to make connections with what
they see and what they hear – Emotions and words together– Keeping up in the classroom
![Page 77: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Let class determine the parameters of assignment or the grading system.
“We could read all of this silently, out loud, or individually, and then discuss.”
“I think you need to do all these problems; how do you think you can show me what you know?”
Make sure students say pros/cons and discuss!
Negotiation
![Page 78: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Provide student(s) with choices:Allow student to create the schedule.Allow student to create the checklist.
Allow a day when students can “swap jobs.” Playing games teaches negotiation
– choice of game, sharing, your turn, winning/losing
![Page 79: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Across the Curriculum
Relate to government and history topics.
Hold debates.
![Page 80: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Embed Opportunities for Choice
– Materials within an activity– Among different activities– Refuse an activity– People to be included or excluded– When the activity occurs– Type of writing tool (pen, colored pencil, marker) or
computer– Order of assignments– How to turn in your assignment– When you read aloud
![Page 81: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Self-Monitoring
Self-monitoring empowers students!
![Page 82: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
What are the benefits of teaching students to self-manage?
Strategies can be differentiated Less invasive than teacher-managed
strategies Have higher levels of self-efficacy,
motivation, and school achievement Use of appropriate help-seeking behaviors to
learn how to do things independently Can use to manage a variety of behaviors
![Page 83: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Teach students to monitor their own behavior –
Identify the target behavior.
Define the target or a replacement behavior.
Conference with the student.

Teach students to monitor their own behavior -
Index card for tally marks Form with multiple dates/tally marks. “+ or –” or “yes or no” or “smiley face” Small sheet of questions “Today I . . .” “Was I Doing My Work?” Time/Yes or No Rate your performance (1=NI, 2=OK, etc.) Student and teacher rate
![Page 86: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Teach students to monitor their own behavior -
Number of times blurted out/raised hand. Number of times used appropriate words. On-task behavior/working on assignment. Work completion/problems finished. I followed directions. I remained cool and calm. I kept my hands to myself.

Peer-Mediated Social Skills Intervention Methods
Group or individual sessions Same-age peers (best) Trained peers (best) Peer academic tutoring Circle of Friends Peer proximity Peer initiating Peer prompting and reinforcing
![Page 88: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Peer-Mediated Intervention
Peer Proximity– The peer model works and plays next to a
particular child to provide opportunities for observation of desired behaviors.
![Page 89: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Peer Prompting and reinforcement– Peer model will prompt verbally, targeted student
will practice the skill (respond appropriately to the activity or play prompt), and peer model will provide reinforcement such as verbal praise or a high five.
![Page 90: GAPBS Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56814f97550346895dbd53a2/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Peer Initiation
Peer model is directed to initiate or request to be paired with the targeted child.
