When writing an IEP for a student, are you considering their career path- especially if they are at the secondary level? School social workers teach these skills everyday. Are they appropriately identified and articulated?

It's important that schools focus on children's well-being, emotions, happiness, self-esteem, and potential contributions to society, as well as having a vested interest in systematically teaching the skills required for Common Core success.

The following article is reprinted with permission by author John Pagano, Ph.D., OTR/L of Fab Strategies. It is common for early education classes to include undiagnosed special needs students.

Steve Whitmore's insight:
It take a TEAM to help some children progress. When you write IEP goals, do you still think min terms of social work goals versus speech goals? Kids make better progress when all are working together on different aspects of the same goal with a coordinated plan. #socialemotionallearning

So you have identified the problem behavior. What’s next? Just because you’ve picked the behavior you are targeting – doesn’t mean you have clearly defined it. Behavior is subjective.

When you are working on Socio-Emotional learning with a student, are you thinking about "life after school" and the skills they will need? Likewise, if a student has an IEP, are you working on those skills needed after high school?
