The Interpersonal Environment – Supporting Social Competence in Out of School Time Programs

                                         

 

 Course Description: 

By supporting the social and emotional development of school-age children, we are helping improve self-perception and social behavior.  An out of school time program that has a balance of activities and focuses on individual needs, reduces the incidence of at-risk behavior.  In this session, we will discuss guiding and supervision of social competency within a framework of the Seven Social Skill Clusters.  These clusters include community building, control, confidence, curiosity, coping, communication and conflict resolution.  Participants will reflect upon their current social environment, problem behavior, their role as an adult and the value of play.

After completing this course, participants will be able to: Evaluate the program’s social environment, reflect upon the seven social skills clusters children need to be socially competent and select goals designed to improve the program’s social environment.
