Interventions at Tate Woods School

Classroom Lessons: At least once per month (usually twice per month), students receive a prosocial skills lesson from the school social worker and school psychologist. The skill of focus is chosen based upon team dialogue regarding frequent problem behaviors and social/emotional learning standards. The team meets once per month to review the effectiveness of past lessons and discuss needed prosocial skills that relate to Illinois' Social and Emotional Learning Standards.

Social Skills Groups - Available for first and second grade students who are in need of direct social skills instruction and practice. Students learn skills such as, listening, turn-taking, joining play, playing cooperatively, expressing empathy, and accepting limitations through the use of social stories or sequenced steps worksheets, skill modeling, practice, and feedback. Current Groups: 1st grade Girls' Friendship, 1st grade Boys' Friendship, 2nd Grade Girls' Friendship, 2nd Grade Boys' Friendship.

Sress Busters - Available for first and second grade students experiencing anxiety. Students learn the definition of anxiety and how to identify their "what if" thoughts and think about their problems in a healthier way. Other coping mechanisms are taught including, deep breathing and muscle relaxation. Current Groups: 1st Grade Girls' Stress Busters
