Dear fellow Hanoverians:
/The Hanover Parent Advisory Council presents their final seminar for
this school year: /
Strategies for teaching: Social Thinking Skills
/A Workshop for Parents and Professionals/
Tuesday, April 10, 2012
7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Meeting Location: Hanover High School (First Floor), Cedar Street
/
Description: / Having a high “Social I.Q.” is extremely important for
all children and young adults. Cooperation, empathy, conflict
resolution, managing emotions, and listening skills are important
skills that are not learned by all children naturally. For some
children, complex mathematics is easier than carrying on a
conversation with a peer. The good news is that social skills can be
taught to children. Social Thinking techniques were developed to help
children get through their school day as well as develop and maintain
friendships. What are Social Thinking Skills? How we know if a student
will benefit from Social Thinking groups and strategies? Participants
in this workshop will gain increased knowledge and understanding of
social thinking, and strategies to stimulate the development of these
skills in diverse learners.
