Elementary Resource Social Skills
or
Achieving Better Citizens (ABC) Skills
The listed social skills are stressed in the resource setting. Each skill allows the student to be more successful in the school setting.
Students earn points within the resource room when showing appropriate social skills. Each student has a points sheet, brings it home on Fridays (for parents to review the week) and returns the points sheet on Monday. The points sheet is a tool used to convey to the students/parents the
social skills the student shows throughout the week. When the student shows appropriate social skills, he/she earns points (written on the points sheet). If the student shows inappropriate behavior, the points sheet will show a points loss for the particular social skill. Immediately following the point loss, reteaching of the social skill occurs. The student is able to earn
points back when showing appropriate skills.
This ABC Skills system is based on the Dubuque Management System. It is a consistent, predictable and positive approach to teaching social skills.
The ABC social skills are listed on the next page, "ABC SKILLS."
