This set of
materials for training elementary school children in social skills
includes a book which explains the Skillstreaming program, a student
manual, a collection of program forms, and a box of skill cards
for use with students. After an introductory chapter, chapter 2
examines Skillstreaming's history and development. chapter 3 presents
strategies for using Skillstreaming to develop safe school environments.
Program implementation is then discussed in terms of grouping (chapter
4), teaching procedures (chapter 5), and a transcript of a Skillstreaming
group session (chapter 6). chapter 7 presents the 60 skills for
this age level, listing each skill's behavioral steps, teacher notes,
and topics for modeling displays. chapter 8 discusses skill sequences
and combinations and chapter 9 describes effective motivation-enhancing
and resistance-reducing procedures. chapter 10 addresses the issue
of generalization of learned skills. Three appendices include an
annotated bibliography, checklists and a grouping chart, and descriptions
of supplementary materials. The student manual provides student
worksheets, checklists, and other instructional materials. The forms
collection contains samples of such forms as skill sheets and skill
rating forms. The 480 skill cards list the steps needed to perform
each of the 60 prosocial skills, with 8 cards for each skill, enough
for a group of 8 students. (Contains approximately 140 references.)
