    Q1: Dr.Greene speaks about using Michelle Garcia-Winner’s “Social Thinking” curriculum to teach certain lagging skills identified on the ALSUP. Describe an example of how U have or might in the future apply Social Thinking concepts & strategies when U use Plan B w/ Ss. #LostAtNPS

  • HAYSchoolNorton Mar 29 @ 8:39 PM EDT
    A1: One way is to utilize social stories and situations. Our phenomenal adjustment counselor integrates this into her classroom lessons with students. It's a great way for them to hear and discuss concepts and strategies with excellent guidance. #LostAtNPS

  • ZajacSLP Mar 29 @ 8:40 PM EDT
    YES!! This system works! It is simple, yet effective and can move from grade to grade with Ss. Continuity of language that grows w Ss is exactly the kind of sustainability we need to support our Ss in the long haul! #LostAtNPS

    A1: Asking "what if..." What if that happened to you? Assist in perspective taking by changing how the question is presented. #lostatnps
  • diana_savage Mar 29 @ 8:40 PM EDT
    I think the use of the unthinkables could be helpful for some of our younger kiddos to understand how their behavior is affecting others in a Plan B #LostAtNPS
  • catherineluke49 Mar 29 @ 8:41 PM EDT
    A1: I can see working with Ss to see if they think their problem is little or big. Maybe putting things into perspective. Over time this might help. #LostAtNPS
  • C_McDonough2018 Mar 29 @ 8:41 PM EDT
    A1: I use the Zones of regulations with students as needed - when they enter the classroom then when they leave. It's a good visual for some S's with disabilities #LostAtNPS

    This is SUCH an important way to frame "problems" for Ss in a way that makes solving appear "manageable". #LostAtNPS

    A1 #LostAtNPS It helps 2 make the expected behaviors of "being a student" more concrete/less abstract-esp 4 kids on the spectrum. The quote 4 my son in 3rd grade was, "He doesn't know HOW 2 be a student." That was essentially true. Having expected behaviors demonstrated clicked!

  • MrsHasselbacher Mar 29 @ 8:44 PM EDT
    A1: I like the expected/unexpected language. I like that it takes away the negative connotation of making a kid feel bad about their behavior. #LostAtNPS
  • catherineluke49 Mar 29 @ 8:45 PM EDT
    A1: I have seen Emilie present this lesson. Ss really ‘get it’. It can be very effective. #LostAtNPS

  • JlWise0531 Mar 29 @ 8:45 PM EDT
    By identifying lagging skills, you know what skills to teach using social thinking. For example, we will use whole body listening to better understand how to interact with others #LostatNPS
  • catherineluke49 Mar 29 @ 8:47 PM EDT
    A1: We use this language with out Littles often. It helps to use misbehaviors as teachable moments. #LostAtNPS

    Q2:“A picture is worth 1,000 words”. How can we leverage this idea to support Ss w/ lagging skills in processing & communication participate in Plan B. What highly visual, language minimal strategy/tool do U use 2 help Ss express feelings & pinpoint what is hard 4 them?#LostAtNPS
  • MrsCarriereLGN Mar 29 @ 8:48 PM EDT
    A1 I have worked with Mrs. Packer using the zones with Ss. I think that they are able to understand them and identify their moods. Also big problem/little problem, expected/unexpected #LostAtNPS
  • ZajacSLP Mar 29 @ 8:48 PM EDT
    Concrete expectations. BOOM! Be explicit. Assume nothing. Make it fun. The best learning happens this way! #LostAtNPS

    #LostAtNPS A2: I find that visuals which identify differentiated levels of emotional feelings connected with how a body feels and tangible strategies to help are extremely effective. Even older students benefit from this visual point and connect the dots expression tool.
  • KimBray03 Mar 29 @ 8:49 PM EDT
    Joining in a little late! #LostAtNPS
  • ZajacSLP Mar 29 @ 8:49 PM EDT
    Neutralize the language. If we are building lagging skills, we need to make sure expectations are not tied to judgement. Create judgement free space to succeed through challenge and even failure. #LostAtNPS

    This is often my advice to my girls too. We talk about what’s bothering them and talk about how to put things in perspective. Parenting skills and teaching skills are often the same. After all our students are our kids too. #LostAtNPS

  • diana_savage Mar 29 @ 8:51 PM EDT
    A2 I think individualized visuals (zones, emotion cards etc) are so helpful but also whole class visuals are so important as visual reminder for all kids.#LostAtNPS
  • EmilieOTR Mar 29 @ 8:51 PM EDT
    #LostAtNPS A2 Zones uses 4 colors to describe how we feel internally. Blue low state of alertness & energy, green ready to learn happy& content, yellow energy and emotions are up, but still have some control, red very heightened stat of alertness, flight fright.

    A2: When I first started teaching APE, I used to use many pictures to help Ss express feelings. In the pool, I'd have ice and penguins for cold or fire and volcano for hot. Bed and Zs for tired. Ss favorite free time activity. The list goes on. Pictures r valuable! #lostatnps
  • Megberry74 Mar 29 @ 8:53 PM EDT
    A2 One of my Kinders has a tool that has been in use since preschool in which they point to a face on a chart to indicate to staff how they are feeling, and then they point a way that they can change their behavior, e.g. ten deep breaths. #LostAtNPS
  • MrsCorreiraHAY Mar 29 @ 8:53 PM EDT
    #LostAtNPS A1 I feel that black-and-white thinkers, like Kelvin, would definitely be receptive during Plan B's if some of those black & white areas can be turned more "gray" by some of the social thinking methods.
  • MsTaylorsOwls Mar 29 @ 8:54 PM EDT
    A2.A colleague of mine uses the characters from “Inside Out” every day as a check in during their morning routine. The kids choose where they are coming in and she can check in with kiddos ASAP before the day starts! Awesome visual for Kinders! #LostAtNPS
  • C_McDonough2018 Mar 29 @ 8:54 PM EDT
    A2: The Zones! Looks like many of us use them :) #LostAtNPS
  • KimBray03 Mar 29 @ 8:54 PM EDT
    A2. I love the idea of using visuals to help Ss express themselves. This is something I'm excited to try. #LostAtNPS
  • JeniferCarline Mar 29 @ 8:55 PM EDT
    A1: Using social stories through children’s picture books. This one is excellent. @jcteachfirsties gave this to me as it was about cyber bullies & too advanced for her firsties. My students LOVED it! Great conversations! #LostAtNPS

    A2: I have heard Ss say, ‘I’m feeling red.’ It’s helpful as the adult to know. I might tackled the problem differently when I know this information. #LostAtNPS

      #LostAtNPS A2 Zones uses 4 colors to describe how we feel internally. Blue low state of alertness & energy, green ready to learn happy& content, yellow energy and emotions are up, but still have some control, red very heightened stat of alertness, flight fright.
  • JlWise0531 Mar 29 @ 8:56 PM EDT
    A2. Use of boardmaker pics would be helpful to come up with several possible solutions to problems. Also, a 5 pt scale may be used to prioritize feelings and solutions. #LostatNPS

  • jtones_206 Mar 29 @ 8:58 PM EDT
    late but still here! A1: i think social learning needs focus now more than ever...i think it’s about bringing it to the level each student is at in the moment, perspective, using examples to explain, then guiding them as they use their own words/actions #LostAtNPS
  • C_McDonough2018 Mar 29 @ 8:59 PM EDT
    A2: I use the Zones as well for student to identify how they're feeling, some share "why" before lesson begins & to get it off their chest so they can focus on the lesson. Then we check in at the end of class too. Been googling more about this as I read responses #LostAtNPS
  • MrsWelchJCS1 Mar 29 @ 8:59 PM EDT
    A2-My firsties all keep a"HELP" cartoon card under their name tag. It's interesting to see who discreetly or NOT holds it up. #LostAtNPS
  • JerushaBjork Mar 29 @ 8:59 PM EDT
    #LostAtNPS A2 I have many academic visuals around the room, along with positive quotes and whole body listening posters. I use nonverbal cues such as thumbss up etc, to check in with kids. However, I do not have emotional rating posters like many of you are referring to. Hmmmm.🤔

    Q3:Joey & Consuelo.When we look at how Plan B looks when applied 2 different students, we see that not all lagging skills are “loud or disruptive”. Share an example of a “quiet” lagging skill you’ve observed in Ss which may not have been recognized B4 the book study. #LostAtNPS
  • jtones_206 Mar 29 @ 9:00 PM EDT

    #LostAtNPS A3: Recently, I encountered a situation where a student was responding to Qs related to lessons by raising their hand and then retracting. Turns out the S would have the answer but then would lose it if not called upon immediately. Collab solution=Post It Note!
  • MsBeatrice_NHS Mar 29 @ 9:01 PM EDT

    #LostAtNPS Hello friends. I’ve been reading tweets; just forgot to check in. A2 I love the idea of visual feelings for kiddos. So often kids don’t understand their feelings. It’s up to us to help them identify feelings, process it, and use a SKILL to deescalate

    #LostAtNPS A2: for rehearsals I teach with effectiveness in mind, how can I most quickly express what I want the students to know. For me that happens a lot through conducting, but generally if you can’t say it in 7 words or less - demonstrate. Show what you mean

    A3: In years past, Ss that "hide" in a game...or something comes up and has to leave during an activity. #lostatnps

      #LostAtNPS A3 Lagging organizational skills are often very quiet..but can lead to bigger issues and emotional stress..losing homework, starting assignments late, losing supplies,forgetting things at home. All of these organizational skills need to be taught,sometimes explicitly.

    PlanB would help my S who is looking busy but actually doing nothing cause they don't know what to do or how to ask for help. #LostAtNPS

    A3 Actually I notice my own son has lagging skills remembering to bring his homework home sometimes and stuff home from school, e.g.halloween costume, Patriots hat. He always wants me to email his teacher to tell her he forgot stuff #LostAtNPS

    #LostAtNPS Absolutely! For many of these kids the classroom is the only place of organization in their lives.

    Absolutely fantastic example of HS level application of Plan B in action with a very timely mutually satisfactory solution. Thanks for sharing this @mgodfreynhs ! #LostAtNPS

      Today in class!I had a chat with “Johnny” after school today. He and I figured out that the reason for his constant loud mumbling in class is because he is frustrated! Plan B solution, practice with me to not to get so emotional in class! #LostAtNPS

    Yes! Well done!#LostAtNPS

    Q3 #LostAtNPS A lagging behavior that has become more apparent is the potty time "patterns" of a student of mine with attentional issues. If we're in the bathroom when it's time to write homework-then we're not responsible 4 it-since we didn't write it!? Hmmmm #nicetry

    A3-#LostAtNPS Student who lags in recess skills-yes-unable to interact and play on the playground-this follows into the classroom and has serious impact!

    Q3A3: Standing today right next to a very impulsive student who talks aloud non stop, I felt his agitation in the air. I told him that I could feel his nervousness. He responded that the did not know how to stop it! My heart ached for him! #LostAtNPS

    Yes! Compliance is overrated. #LostAtNPS
    • ZajacSLP Mar 29 @ 9:20 PM EDT
      I agree Cathy! Compliance is overrated. Engagement is the real "icing on the cake"!

    If you see this in your classroom, you have identified a symptom of lagging skill. Seek to understand and enlist the insight of your OT as you navigate Plan B. #LostAtNPS

      A3 S walking around the classroom during a whole class lesson. S chewing on her shirt and the whole pencil down to the lead #LostAtNPS

    Empathy is essential to SEL as well as navigating academic learning. Plan B is a perfect place to begin the work of supporting and specifically building in opportunities for skill development. #LostAtNPS
    • HAYSchoolNorton Mar 29 @ 9:07 PM EDT
      A3: Some students lack the ability to demonstrate empathy towards one another. This is a very quiet but lagging skill. #LostatNPS
  • MrsCorreiraHAY Mar 29 @ 9:24 PM EDT
    #LostAtNPS Amen...for the teachers too!😜
