#KaganChat A6 Make sure ALL Ss greet & shake hands properly -- such an important social skill needed in life! MixPairShare to practice

kelliekonrad Jul 26 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A6) Copycat gambits, HIGH expectations, practice, modeling, coaching skills, active listening, daily class meetings, frontloading #KaganChat

dtrabilsy Jul 26 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A6 Social Skills are embedded in Kagan St so the more we do St w/Ss the more Social Skills are practiced. #KaganChat

CarolAtKagan Jul 26 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A6: model, model, model! W/younger S, we build their internal "script." W/older S, we edit the script. 😀 #KaganChat

KristineAtKagan - Moderator Jul 26 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@jessica_reddout @kelliekonrad so true! Must be "appropriate for school" #KaganChat

llglass Jul 26 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A6 making sure they look at each other when talking and listening. Greeting them at the door and expecting a return greeting. #kaganchat

daynomiterox Jul 26 @ 8:50 PM EDT

cgibbs10 Jul 26 @ 8:50 PM EDT

LoriJLaher Jul 26 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A6 Use a structure each day. Even turn and talk to your neighbor. #KaganChat

BillAtKagan - Moderator Jul 26 @ 8:51 PM EDT

Agree w/ @CarolAtKagan. Model correctly, incorrectly, then correctly again. Paint an extremely clear picture. #KaganChat

jessica_reddout Jul 26 @ 8:51 PM EDT
