Description

Every day, children and young people are required to handle a wide range of challenging social situations. Successful management of these is dependent on the child’s social skills and interpersonal problem-solving capacity, as well as the responses of others and the particular social context.

Talking About Classroom Behaviour is a resource designed children aged 6 years+ , depicting a range of challenging educational scenarios that children in this age group may encounter. The pack is full of activities aimed towards developing social skills, situational understanding and verbal reasoning focus, helping them to develop appropriate classroom behaviour.

Aimed at a primary school age group, this pack includes many real life situations encountered in classrooms, depicting challenging classroom behaviour and communication breakdown and suggesting alternative ways of dealing with them.

Part of our popular “Talking About” series, this pack aims to teach appropriate responses to these challenging situations, which will, in turn, improve social skills and classroom behaviour. Children need to integrate these skills into a wide range of situations, which require a sophisticated interplay of understanding and behavioural responses. Small-group situations which allow pupils to analyse situations and discuss appropriate classroom behaviour responses provide a safe environment in which to practise these social interactions.

The pack is full of charming illustrations by Helen Rippon, which provide a high level of visual support for the scenarios that the pack discusses. The pack offers a range of scenarios that a child may experience in the classroom, as well as potential courses of action, some appropriate and some inappropriate. Every situation and possible response is accompanied by an engaging illustration, to be presented to the individual or group during discussion. Questions and suggested role-play are included to allow for practice and rehearsal.

The materials are designed to be used in a group context, although it is also possible to adapt them to one-to-one settings, and they are suitable for pupils who have semantic-pragmatic disorder, high-functioning autism, Asperger’s syndrome and other social, emotional and behavioural difficulties.

Examples of the scenarios include:

feeling restless,
taking turns,
talking loudly in classrooms,
being misunderstood,
playing together,
feeling anxious in school,
staying on topic,
offering help.

Format: PDF file, 77 pages including instructions, colour illustrations and black and white alternatives.
