Ride the Wave Counseling Middle School How to Hang Out Program - Ryan WexelblattRyan Wexelblatt, LCSW
Here's the most common things parents tell me about social skills groups their son has attended:
1. "He was considered the role model for the group because the other kids has much more pronounced needs that he did".
2."He felt it was babyish."
3. "I don't think he got much out of it and he hated going."
4. "Your post resonated with me because what they were teaching didn't seem natural to the way boys interact with each other".
Here's the deal: Most social skills groups don't work for a variety of reasons which I won't bore you with here.
How to Hang Out is a social learning program for boys in grades 5-8. The program combines instruction in Social Thinking® concepts/language with fun activities designed to build social executive functioning skills.
We make food, play games, watch YouTube videos. Most importantly, we learn how to cultivate and sustain friendships with similar-age boys..from a male perspective.

Teaching Guys to Communicate Like Guys (not sounding like you walked out of a...Ryan Wexelblatt, LCSW
Many social skills groups and social skills instruction involves teaching boys to break the "hidden rules" of the male-male social communication template. As a result, social skills groups can backfire and cause boys to sound unrelatable to their male peers. In this presentation I discuss teaching social skills from a male perspective.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
How is college different from high school-A chart to compare
1. How Is College Different from High School
FOLLOWING THE RULES IN
HIGH SCHOOL
CHOOSING RESPONSIBLY IN
COLLEGE
* High school is mandatory and
usuallyfree.
* College is voluntary and expensive.
* Your time is structured by
others.
* You manage your own time.
* You need permission to
participate in extracurricular
activities
* You must decide whether to participate in
co-curricular activities.
* You can count on parents and
teachers to remind you of your
responsibilities and to guide you
in setting priorities.
* You must balance your responsibilities and
set priorities. You will face moral and ethical
decisions you have never faced before.
* Each day you proceed from one
class directly to another, spending
6 hours each day--30 hours a
week--in class.
* You often have hours between classes; class
times vary throughout the day and evening and
you spend only 12 to 16 hours each week in
class
* Most of your classes are
arranged for you.
* You arrange your own schedule in
consultation with your adviser. Schedules tend
to look lighter than they really are.
* You are not responsible for
knowing what it takes to graduate.
* Graduation requirements are complex, and
differ from year to year. You are expected to
know those that apply to you.
* Guiding principle: You will
usually be told what to do and
corrected if your behavior is out
of line.
* Guiding principle: You are expected to
take responsibility for what you do and
don't do, as well as for the consequences of
your decisions.
2. GOING TO HIGH SCHOOL
CLASSES
SUCCEEDING IN COLLEGE CLASSES
* The school year is 36 weeks
long; some classes extend over
both semesters and some don't.
* The academic year is divided into two
separate 15-week semesters, plus a week after
each semester for exams.
* Classes generally have no more
than 35 students.
* Classes may number 100 students or more.
* You may study outside class as
little as 0 to 2 hours a week, and
this may be mostly last-minute
test preparation.
* You need to study at least 2 to 3 hours
outside of class for each hour in class.
* You seldom need to read
anything more than once, and
sometimes listening in class is
enough.
* You need to review class notes and text
material regularly.
* You are expected to read short
assignments that are then
discussed, and often re-taught, in
class.
* You are assigned substantial amounts of
reading and writing which may not be directly
addressed in class.
* Guiding principle: You will
usually be told in class what you
need to learn from assigned
readings.
* Guiding principle: It's up to you to read
and understand the assigned material;
lectures and assignments proceed from the
assumption that you've already done so.
HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS COLLEGE PROFESSORS
* Teachers check your completed
homework.
* Professors may not always check completed
homework, but they will assume you can
perform the same tasks on tests.
* Teachers remind you of your
incomplete work.
* Professors may not remind you of
incomplete work.
3. * Teachers approach you if they
believe you need assistance.
* Professors are usually open and helpful, but
most expect you to initiate contact if you need
assistance.
* Teachers are often available for
conversation before, during, or
after class.
* Professors expect and want you to attend
their scheduled office hours.
* Teachers have been trained in
teaching methods to assist in
imparting knowledge to students.
* Professors have been trained as experts in
their particular areas of research.
* Teachers provide you with
information you missed when you
were absent.
* Professors expect you to get from classmates
any notes from classes you missed.
* Teachers present material to
help you understand the material
in the textbook.
* Professors may not follow the textbook.
Instead, to amplify the text, they may give
illustrations, provide background information,
or discuss research about the topic you are
studying. Or they may expect youto relate the
classes to the textbook readings.
* Teachers often write
information on the board to be
copied in your notes.
* Professors may lecture nonstop, expecting
you to identify the important points in your
notes. When professors write on the board, it
may be to amplify the lecture, not to
summarize it. Good notes are a must.
* Teachers impart knowledge and
facts, sometimes drawing direct
connections and leading you
through the thinking process.
* Professors expect you to think about and
synthesize seemingly unrelated topics.
* Teachers often take time to
remind you of assignments and
due dates.
* Professors expect you to read, save, and
consult the course syllabus (outline); the
syllabus spells out exactly what is expected of
you, when it is due, and how you will be
graded.
* Teachers carefully monitor class
attendance.
* Professors may not formally take roll, but
they are still likely to know whether or not you
attended.
* Guiding principle: High
school is a teaching
environment in which you
acquire facts and skills.
* Guiding principle: College is a learning
environment in which you take
responsibility for thinking through and
applying what you have learned.
4. TESTS IN HIGH SCHOOL TESTS IN COLLEGE
* Testing is frequent and covers
small amounts of material.
* Testing is usually infrequent and may be
cumulative, covering large amounts of
material. You, not the professor, need to
organize the material to prepare for the test. A
particular course may have only 2 or 3 tests in
a semester.
* Makeup tests are often
available.
* Makeup tests are seldom an option; if they
are, you need to request them.
* Teachers frequently rearrange
test dates to avoid conflict with
school events.
* Professors in different courses usually
schedule tests without regard to the demands
of other courses or outside activities.
* Teachers frequently conduct
review sessions, pointing out the
most important concepts.
* Professors rarely offer review sessions, and
when they do, they expect you to be an active
participant, one who comes prepared with
questions.
* Guiding principle: Mastery is
usually seen as the ability to
reproduce what you were taught
in the form in which it was
presented to you, or to solve the
kinds of problems you were
shown how to solve.
* Guiding principle: Mastery is often seen
as the ability to apply what you've learned
to new situations or to solve new kinds of
problems.
GRADES IN HIGH SCHOOL GRADES IN COLLEGE
* Grades are given for most
assigned work.
* Grades may not be provided for all assigned
work.
5. * Consistently good homework
grades may raise your overall
grade when test grades are low.
* Grades on tests and major papers usually
provide most of the course grade.
* Extra credit projects are often
available to help you raise your
grade.
* Extra credit projects cannot, generally
speaking, be used to raise a grade in a college
course.
* Initial test grades, especially
when they are low, may not have
an adverse effect on your final
grade.
* Watch out for your first tests. These are
usually "wake-up calls" to let you know what
is expected--but they also may account for a
substantial part of your course grade. You may
be shocked when you get your grades.
* You may graduate as long as
you have passed all required
courses with a grade of D or
higher.
* You may graduate only if your average in
classes meets the departmental standard--
typically a 2.0 or C.
* Guiding principle: Effort
counts.Courses are usually
structured to reward a "good-
faith effort."
* Guiding principle: Results count.Though
"good-faith effort" is important in regard
to the professor's willingness to help
you achieve good results, it will
notsubstitute for results in the grading
process.
HOW TO MAKE THE TRANSITION TO COLLEGE
Take control of your own education: think of yourself as a scholar.
Get to know your professors; they are your single greatest resource.
Be assertive. Create your own support systems, and seek help when you realize you may
need it.
Take control of your time. Plan ahead to satisfy academic obligations and make room for
everything else.
Stretch yourself: enroll in at least one course that really challenges you.
Make thoughtful decisions: don't take a course just to satisfy a requirement, and don't
drop any course too quickly.
Think beyond the moment: set goals for the semester, the year, your college career.
