The Parts of the tree
The ROOTS: joint attention, emotional reciprocity, theory of mind, language development, attention maintainence/shifting
The TRUNK: central coherence processing, executive function skills, more sophisticated emotional regulation, sophisticated perspective taking skills - overall synthesis of the “root” skills
The BRANCHES: apply social thinking skills to academics (comprehension, written/oral expression), conversation skills, organization, interpreting social cues, social problem solving, social filter, cognitive flexibility
The LEAVES: the individual skill that contributes to the “branch”

Jill D. Kuzma, Jan 2013
What kind of student should work on “Social Cognitive” skills?
Average to above average intelligence – this is a language-based and meta-cognitive approach
ASD, ADD, ADHD, EBD and most of the other kinds of “D” ending labels!
Many times these challenges do not emerge until later elementary years or middle school

Teaching Ideas
Think about what others are thinking & how this impacts you. Understand hidden intentions & non-verbal cues
Jill D. Kuzma, Jan 2013

Bubbles
But, be careful! If you have hurtful
words,
Don’t pop your thinking bubble!
Talking Bubbles
Words that come out of my mouth
Public - other people can hear my talking bubble words
Talking bubble words can affect how other people feel
Thinking Bubbles
Words that I think inside my head
Private - no one can hear my talking bubble words
Talking bubble words are secret, so they cannot hurt other people’s feelings.

Talk-Think-Feel
Use this visual to teach the concept that there are 3
things we need to know to figure out
someone’s perspective:
words, thoughts and emotions.

Your “Social Sense”
Your “Social Sense” “Social Smarts”
Carol Gray’s lesson, but directed toward the target students
Explain why they come for group or serviceUse as a “vocabulary cue” from then on

Brain Drawings
Brain Drawings - help to teach students that they can recall things about themselves but also things about other people as well.
I like to read books about the Titanic.
I like Star Wars video games.
I have a dog for a pet.
I wish I had a lizard for a pet.
Dillon has a brother and likes playing with Star Wars Legos. He has a cat named Puddy.
Colin likes to go fishing. He like Yuh-Gi-Oh, but not Pokemon anymore. He likes Bionicles. Colin is afraid of my dog. Source: Michelle-Garcia

Social Filter
Start with Analogies (water filter, furnace filter, computer spam/virus filter, etc.) All of these items serve to traps the harmful “stuff”, so only the “good” stuff comes through the filter
Social Filter - traps the harmful words, so only kind words come through
Relate to “Don’t pop your thinking bubble!”
Jill D. Kuzma, Jan 2013

Social Secrets
“Hidden curriculum” Learning explicitly
what most peers learn implicitly.
Role play opportunities - the “right way” and the “wrong way” to do the social secret.
Jill D. Kuzma, Jan 2013

Using Video Clips
Movie/TV Clip AnalysisPresent movie clips and ask the following perspective-taking questions: “How does ____ feel?” “How do you know he/she feels that way?” “What does ____ want?” “What does ____ really mean when he/she said____”
Example clips:Saved by the Bell, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Survivor, Thomas the Tank Engine, Suite Life of Zack and Cody.

Expected/Unexpected Social Behaviors

think is friendly, helpful and respectful”
