Details: Skillstreaming is a social-emotional learning program designed to help children and youth learn positive ways to have their needs met. Skillstreaming the Adolescent employs a four-part training approach—modeling, role-playing, performance feedback, and generalization—to teach essential prosocial skills to adolescents. This book provides a complete description of the Skillstreaming program, with instructions for teaching 50 prosocial skills. Adaptable for a variety of situations, Skillstreaming is ideal for small group instruction for children who have common social needs. Often used by counselors and others, the Skillstreaming program is structured to be a targeted, social-emotional learning intervention. Specific Skillstreaming skills can also be taught in whole class sessions by counselors. The Skillstreaming program at every age level is designed to be easily implemented when conducted by a group leader who has experience in working with small groups. Training is also available for school districts and other organizations when Skillstreaming will be implemented through multiple practitioners. Skill Cards, Student Workbooks and Skill Posters reinforce the key objectives in the Skillstreaming program. NOTE: It is essential for successful implementation of this curriculum to first have the program book (Skillstreaming the Adolescent: A Guide for Teaching Prosocial Skills) before attempting to utilize other Skillstreaming products. For a wide range of adolescent learning programs and settings, Skillstreaming is a trusted and proven learning asset. Coming soon: Skillstreaming the Adolescent Lesson Plans and Activities created to help sustain skill instruction, enhance students’ skill mastery, and most important – to refine skill use for dealing with more complex, real-life situations in and outside of the classroom. Also helps to prevent school and behavioral failure while also laying the foundation for education and life success. The scope of the Skillstreaming program was initially used as a strategy to remediate behavioral skill deficits in select groups of children. It has become a widely accepted social-emotional strategy applied in preschools, public schools, juvenile settings and beyond.
