The nationally-acclaimed, evidence-based Stop and Think Social Skills Program has been implemented in over 1,500 schools nationwide since 1990.
Focused on teaching students interpersonal, problem-solving, and conflict resolution skills, the four Stop & Think levels ensure that all skills are taught in a developmentally-sensitive and appropriate way. Each level concentrates on 10 Core and 10 Advanced Skills. These are practical skills that help students to manage their own behavior and successfully interact with others: Listening, Following Directions, Asking for Help, Ignoring Distractions, Accepting Consequences, Apologizing, Dealing with Teasing, Handling Peer Pressure, How to Set Goals.
The Stop & Think Social Skills kit comes with everything that a teacher needs to implement the program--Manual, Reproducible Forms, Posters, Cue Cards, and Stop & Think signs to remind students to use their social skills. An essential part of every teacher's classroom management program, the Stop & Think Program has demonstrated its ability to decrease discipline referrals to the Office, increase positive classroom interactions, and help students and teachers to be more productive and successful.
