Social skills education for middle and high school students

What is social skills education?

Social skills are defined as the skills necessary to successfully interact with others.

Recently, many books on social skill training (SST) have been published, so I think many people are familiar with it and are already working on it.

SST can be done individually, in small groups, or as a class. Here, we use the term "social skills education" to describe what we are working on in class units.

The teaching plans and worksheets introduced here are just a few of the ones we have developed together with high school teachers.

Of course, it is necessary to make arrangements according to the actual situation of the participating students, but it is also necessary to make arrangements according to the environment in which it is implemented and the individuality of the instructor.

Please use it after arranging it according to your situation.

Talking Skill (Question Bingo)

basic way of thinking

I would like to be able to provide education that meets the needs of the students, starting with general instructions (+1) in regular classes and gradually increasing support according to the needs of the students.

0 Leave it to the student's autonomy and watch over (support 0)
+1 Show direction by directing to the whole
+2 Small group or individual support
+3 Provides fairly generous support to specific students

I'm thinking about it with an image like Figure 1.
I'm making a guide plan to match the image.
