Description: This pack depicts challenging classroom behaviour and communication breakdown. It suggests alternative ways of dealing with them. Aimed at a primary school age group, it includes many real life situations encountered in classrooms.
Aim: To teach appropriate responses to challenging situations and improve social skills and classroom behaviour. Children need to integrate these skills into a range of situations which require a sophisticated interplay of understanding and behavioural responses.
These include:
- taking turns
- talking loudly in the classroom
- feeling anxious in school
- difficulty being understood
- staying on topic
- playing together
- feeling confused
- offering help
- looking at people
- noisy places
McFall in 1982 and Spence in 1995 identified a range of verbal and non- verbal responses that influence the perception and response of other people during social interactions. Spence (2003)1 states that: ‘it is important that individuals are able to adjust the quantity and quality of non verbal responses such as eye contact, facial expression, posture … according to the demands of different social situations’.1
Age Range: Upper KS1 and KS2.
Format: PDF file on CD or as a download 52MB. 77 pages including instructions, colour illustrations and B&W alternatives.
