Talking About School online resource

Description

“Talking About School” is an online resource intended to assist children aged 5-7 years and older to help them manage their emotional responses and subsequent behaviours within a school environment. This resource is designed to support children who may find it difficult to manage their emotions while at school. The resource contains a variety of activities that focus on developing an understanding of different situations commonly encountered in school.

The success of managing these situations relies on the child’s social skills, emotional intelligence, and ability to solve interpersonal problems. Additionally, the reactions of others and the specific context of each situation play a role. The resource utilises charming illustrations to present challenging social and educational scenarios that are relevant to children in this age group.

The aim is to support children develop strategies that will enable them to manage these situations more effectively. By engaging in the scenarios, children can develop valuable skills to navigate their emotions and behaviours in a school setting.

Online Talking About School contains different scenarios. For example

  • no one to play with in the playground
  • why are people laughing at me
  • behaviour in the dinner queue  at school

Each scenario is followed by response pictures which illustrate ways of behaving which will encourage discussion about the ‘right’ thing to do and prompt students to make their own suggestions.

The user has the ability

  • Record the students’ responses and discussions and play them back. This makes it ideal for role play and ‘rehearsal’ of social conversations.
  • Make notes within the digital resource and then email these from within the resource, together with the recordings.
  • Play optional audio for children or young people who have not learnt to read or who have reading difficulties.
  • The background of the text can also be changed to yellow, which may help some children read the text.
