Social Decision Making/Social Problem Solving: A Curriculum for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning Grades 2-3

Item Number: 225125
ISBN: 9780878225125

Price: $55.95

Developed over three decades, this research-validated curriculum focuses on teaching skills that will enable students to be reflective, non-impulsive, and responsible decision makers and problem solvers while emphasizing critical thinking skills. SDM/SPS, by Maurice J. Elias and Linda Bruene Butler, impacts student behavior, academic learning, and social/emotional life. It promotes a multicultural perspective by building group cohesion, acceptance of differences, and the ability to understand different points of view. The activities build skills such as self-control, listening, respectful communication, how to give and receive help, and how to work cooperatively and fairly in groups. The program uses a wide range of cooperative learning methods, such as small-group brainstorming, problem solving, and role-playing activities. Each volume includes assessment tools for tracking progress and numerous reproducible worksheets. (Research Press 2005)
