This set of
materials on the Skillstreaming methodology for training adolescents
in social skills, especially students who are chronically aggressive,
includes a book which explains the entire program, a student manual,
a collection of program forms, and a box of skill cards for use
with students. Chapter 1 of the book examines the nature and impact
of aggressive students and explains the goal of Skillstreaming as
the explicit teaching of alternative prosocial behaviors. Chapter
2 reviews the program's history and development. Chapter 3 focuses
on program implementation factors and chapter 4 details procedures
for conducting a Skillstreaming group. A transcript of a group session
illustrating these procedures constitutes chapter 5. Chapter 6 presents
50 skills with their component behavioral steps. Chapter 7 addresses
skill sequences and consequences. Chapter 8 considers issues of
trainee motivation and resistance, while chapter 9 discusses ways
to enhance generalization of skill performance. Chapter 10 looks
at safety in the school setting. The final chapter considers future
directions and opportunities. Appendices include a bibliography,
checklists, grouping guides, and materials for other instructional
levels. The student manual, collection of forms, and 400 skill cards
(eight cards for each skill to use with eight students) are designed
to facilitate implementation of the Skillstreaming methodology.
