Teaching Social Competence: Social Skills and Academic Success
by Dennis Knapczyk, Paul Rodes and Attainment Company
Social skill assessment and intervention strategies for staff working with children in grades 1-6
Poor social skills not only make for unhappy and often lonely students, they have a measurable impact on academic achievement. On the other hand, achievement improves when social skills improve.
Authors Dennis Knapczyk and Paul Rodes recognise that school is a social environment with its own definition of appropriate behaviour. They urge social behaviour assessments based on behaviour of socially competent peers. When preparing interventions, they suggest setting attainable goals and working on one skill at a time. The book includes numerous reproducibles to help you observe, assess and plan successful interventions.
The DVD profiles three students who struggle in class because of social deficits, making suggestions for improving their grades and their lives. Useful and efficient for Individualised Education Planning.
