Instructions for School VisitsGP: SOC PP-2

1. Divide your grade level group in teams of two and/or three and watch the video segment on Verbal Pragmatics.

2. At the end of the segment, each team will visit the five school locations posted around the room. Bring your Video Viewing Guide and Glossary.

3. At each location, you will find a scenario of a student with either strong or weak Verbal Pragmatics. Read the scenario and decide which Verbal Pragmatics Component it illustrates; you may refer to your Viewing Guide and the Glossary of Neurodevelopmental Terms. Write your decision on the scenario sheet.

4. If your team can’t agree on the applicable Component, record all ideas and proceed to the next station. Spend no more than two minutes per station.

5. At the 10-minute mark, your facilitator will ask you to return to your seats to watch the video segment on Social Behaviors.

6. At the end of the Social Behaviors segment, your team will visit the school locations again and follow the same procedure as with Verbal Pragmatics. You will have two scenarios at four of the locations, so work quickly.

7. At the 10-minute mark, your facilitator will ask you to return to your study group.

Role Play Rules of the Road

> Divide your school group into teams of 2 (or 2 and 3). > One member of the pair plays Carmen’s teacher; the other plays

Carmen. Carmen or the third team member acts as timekeeper.

> Carmen’s teacher states what aspect of the Student Learning Partnership he/she would like feedback on.

> Role play begins. Carmen’s teacher states where in Carmen’s school the SLP is taking place.

> Role play lasts for 10 minutes. (Teams of 3 will have 7 minutes for the role play.) Carmen or the timekeeper indicates when time is up.

> Feedback Part 1—Stay in role.

> Feedback Part 2—Get out of role.

> Giving and receiving feedback lasts for 5 minutes (3 minutes for teams of 3).

> Switch roles and begin again.

> Take your roles seriously. Please, no dramatics or exaggerated behavior.
