Lessons for Teaching Social and Emotional Competence
by Rita C. Richardson
Copyright © 1996
Connecting with Others integrates a variety of strategies for teaching social and emotional competence to students in kindergarten through middle school. This fun-to-do, proactive program helps students learn to be sensitive to differences, resolve conflicts without resorting to violence, and show understanding, tolerance, and acceptance of others.
Connecting with Others is a flexible program that allows teachers to be creative and adjust lessons to the needs of their students. Each lesson provides step-by-step instructions and teacher scripts. The instructional strategies include storytelling, relaxation, modeling, coaching, continuous evaluation, behavioral rehearsal, reinforcement, creative visualization, creative expression, self-instruction, problem solving, cooperative learning, and transfer training.
RESILIENCE BUILDER PROGRAM FOR
CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS
Enhancing Social Competence and Self-Regulation
by Mary Karapetian Alvord, Bonnie Zucker, & Judy Johnson Grados
Copyright © 2011
This innovative program details 30 group sessions designed to help youth bounce back from the challenges in their lives by increasing confidence, self-esteem, self-control, and the use of coping strategies.
Group activities help develop the following specific protective factors associated with resilience: Proactive orientation toward life; self-regulation of attention, emotions, and behavior; social connections and attachments; achievements and talents; community ties; and proactive parenting.
Each session encourages self-awareness, flexible thinking, and social competence. Through discussion, role-play, and other hands-on techniques, group members learn about self-talk, personal space awareness, problem solving, anger/anxiety management, friendship skills, and other topics essential to well-being and social success.
Relaxation techniques including calm breathing, visualization, progressive muscle relaxation, and yoga enhanced self-regulation. Homework assignments, community field trips, and a parent involvement component help group members generalize what they learn to the world outside the group.
An accompanying CD-ROM with PDF files of all the reproducible materials is included with the book.
