Can one unexpected change derail a learner's entire school day?

A schedule change or a different classroom routine can be challenging for some learners.

Being able to handle changes helps students develop flexibility, manage frustration, and get back to learning.

Because sometimes the skills that make the biggest difference academically aren't academic skills at all.

Social skills pave the way to school success!

Do some learners struggle to connect with peers outside the classroom?

Making plans, whether it's sitting together at lunch, playing at recess, or getting together after school, takes social skills.

Knowing how to connect with peers helps learners build friendships and feel included. And that sense of belonging can make a real difference in school success.

Ever have trouble getting students to shift gears during the school day?

Moving from independent work to listening to the teacher, or from sitting to lining up, isn't always easy.

Shifting attention is a skill that learners can develop with practice and support.

Social Skills → School Success

What happens when a learner doesn't understand but never asks for help?

They may sit quietly, fall behind, or become frustrated.

Knowing how and when to ask questions is an important skill that supports learning and independence.

Have learners who know the answers but rarely participate?

Sometimes the challenge isn't understanding the material. It's knowing when to speak up, how to join a discussion, or feeling comfortable sharing an idea.

Participation is a skill that can be taught and practiced.

When students build confidence participating in class, they have more opportunities to engage and learn.

Have you heard of Teen Life Real Talk? We recently had the pleasure of chatting with Jae, the wonderful host behind this podcast!

Jae covers so many topics that matter to teens and families, from friendships and school life to mental health, college applications, neurodiversity, and all the ups and downs of growing up.

We had a great conversation about Model Me Kids and helping learners build social skills.

Thanks so much for having us, Jae. We really enjoyed the conversation and love what you're doing with the podcast!

There are too many to name! Those small conversation skills can make a big difference in building friendships.

3 Strategies to Try:

Model it: Show examples of peers giving compliments.

Practice it: Pair learners for short conversations where they practice giving a compliment.

Waiting for a pause? Knowing when it's okay to interrupt?

Listening in conversation is important for building positive social connections.

3 Strategies to Try:

Practice it: Role-play conversations and practice recognizing natural pauses before responding.

Use it: Encourage learners turn-taking during group activities and everyday conversations.

Noticing facial expressions? Recognizing when someone is interested?

Understanding social cues is important for helping learners navigate conversations and connect with others.

3 Strategies to Try:

Model it: Watch video examples of how facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice communicate different messages.

Practice it: Pause a video or role-play a situation and ask learners what cues they notice.

Use it: Help learners recognize social cues during everyday interactions and discuss what they might mean.

Asking follow-up questions? Giving someone else a chance to speak?

Keeping a conversation going involves listening, responding, and showing interest in what others have to say.

3 Strategies to Try:

Model it: Show examples of two people taking turns speaking and responding to each other.

Practice it: Use a simple game where learners ask a question, listen to the answer, and ask a follow-up question.

Use it: Encourage learners to practice back-and-forth exchanges during everyday conversations.

Flexibility is learning to choose an alternative when the first choice isn't available.

Maybe you can't go to the amusement park. What else could you choose?

“Let's go to the trampoline park instead.”

Being flexible doesn't mean you have to love the change. It means you try to find another way forward.
