Teaching social skills in context
Being kind to others - day three
This was our third session with this key competency focus and today we moved away from teachers doing the recording and gave that responsibility to the students.
They were asked to either remember what they did/said that was kind, or to record it on post its (some of them loved using the post its).
At the end of the session they told a buddy what they had done that was kind and then we went round the circle with each student reporting back. Because they had practised with a buddy and are used to the circle routine, the responses were pretty succinct and snappy.
We videoed each student as we went round. This provided motivation to speak clearly. So now we have a lovely record of all the kind things they did during the session. A really meaningful way of teaching important social skills.
My next task is to string it together using movie maker - hopefully some of the little techno whizz kids will take over this task before too long :-)
