Teaching Students Social Skills: Prologue

Prologue

How the Science of Student Self-Management Moves Us Beyond the Flawed SEL and PBIS Frameworks

[Total Session Time: 6:45 minutes]

Contents and Brief Description

• Caution: The SEL and PBIS Frameworks
• Frameworks versus Evidence-based Models
• Focusing on Student Self-Management
• The Student Components of Self-Management
• The School Components of Self-Management

    This brief Prologue for this Course discusses the ultimate goal of any SEL/PBIS initiative: the learning, development, and demonstration—by students—of social, emotional, and behavioral self-management skills from preschool through high school. To achieve this goal, we discuss the importance of using evidence-based blueprints that are scientifically proven, rather than “pick-from-the-menu” frameworks (specifically, the SEL and PBIS frameworks) that are not proven and that do not use data to strategically select activities and actions.

    This Prologue outlines the student components of self-management that focus on students’ interpersonal, social problem-solving, conflict prevention and resolution, and emotional control, communication, and coping skills. It then addresses the five school components of self-management: Relationships and Climate, Behavioral Expectations and Skill Instruction, Motivation and Accountability, Consistency, and Setting, Peer, and Student Special Situations. These are the components in a school that are needed to fully attain the student self-management goal.
