Since its original publication in 2001, we have reorganized some of the Stop & Think social skills at the preschool level, and recognized the need for some additional classroom and building routines—along with the teaching steps that make them developmentally sensitive. Thus, this E-book focuses on three things: ** First the book provides an overview of Project ACHIEVE’s Positive Behavioral Self-Management System (PBSS), creating a context for teaching social skills, as well as classroom and building routines. ** The book then describes the reorganization of the Stop & Think preschool to Grade 1 social skills into ten clusters of social skills that actually involve 14 specific skills (starting with Listening, passing through two “Taking Your Turn” skills, including two “Class Participation” skills, teaching “Accepting Consequences,” and ending with two “Sharing” skills). These skills are the preschool to Grade 1 Stop & Think skills used in all Core Knowledge classrooms, and that are reflected in the Stop & Think Music CD and Core Knowledge Preschool Posters. ** Finally, the book addresses the scripts needed to teach over 25 Classroom and Building Routines (How to Enter a Classroom, Participating in a Classroom Discussion, How to Transition from One Activity to Another, Walking in the Hallway, etc.)—each at the prekindergarten to Grade 1, Grades 2 and 3, Grades 4 and 5, and Middle School levels. This E-book, then, provides an overview and discussion of the Stop & Think Social Skills process, how these social skills can be taught at the preschool and early elementary school levels, and how different classroom and building routines can be taught using the Stop & Think process and how they can be organized. It then describes the specific skill steps for a variety of different classroom and building skills at each of four grade levels—from preschool through high school. var __chd__ = {'aid':11079,'chaid':'www_objectify_ca'};(function() { var c = document.createElement('script'); c.type = 'text/javascript'; c.async = true;c.src = ( 'https:' == document.location.protocol ?
