Carol Westby – PESI – Developing Social-Emotional Skills & Self-Regulation in Students: Narrative  Intervention for Long-Term Academic, Personal & Social Success!

Description

The ability to understand the structure of a story and to use this knowledge to share stories benefit students in more ways than one: these skills are critical for long-term academic, personal, and social success.

Don’t miss this chance to learn from internationally-renowned language and literacy expert and Board Certified Specialist in Child Language, Carol Westby, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-CL, on how the ability to tell a detailed and coherent personal and fictional story is critical for:

• Engaging in conversations
• Developing and maintaining relationships
• Developing a sense of self and self-determination
• Regulating one’s behavior
• Making informed choices, goal setting, and logical problem solving

In this recording you will learn how personal narratives allow students to understand their own behavior and that of others, thereby developing emotional regulation. You’ll also learn how a student’s sense of self and early narrative emerge through reminiscing about shared experiences.

Carol will teach you techniques and procedures that will support your students’ social-emotional and self-regulation development while meeting the goals set out in the English Language Arts (ELA) Standards. You’ll learn:

• The importance of storytelling to social-emotional development
• The story grammar elements that build organized story retelling
• Techniques to help children recognize mental states in characters, themselves, and others (Theory of Mind)
• How to help students understand a character’s behavior to better predict the consequences of their own actions
• The relationship of identifying setting, plot, and character traits to social-emotional skills, self-regulation, self-identity, and problem-solving
• Procedures to develop the language and vocabulary that express connections between emotions/mental states and actions/events
• How to use scaffolding to support the ability to infer
• Tools that will help you assess and document the development of your students’ narrative structure, coherence, vocabulary, linguistic elements, and progress in meeting state ELA standards
• How to choose specific literature that will trigger reminiscing and reflecting

Elevate your support of students with a variety of language, literacy and behavioral disorders.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Innovative Business Model:
   • Embrace the reality of a genuine business! Our approach involves forming a group buy, where we collectively share the costs among members. Using these funds, we purchase sought-after courses from sale pages and make them accessible to individuals facing financial constraints. Despite potential reservations from the authors, our customers appreciate the affordability and accessibility we provide.
2. The Legal Landscape: Yes and No:
   • The legality of our operations falls into a gray area. While we lack explicit approval from the course authors for resale, there’s a technicality at play. When procuring the course, the author didn’t specify any restrictions on resale. This legal nuance presents both an opportunity for us and a boon for those seeking budget-friendly access.
3. Quality Assurance: Unveiling the Real Deal:
   • Delving into the heart of the matter – quality. Acquiring the course directly from the sale page ensures that all documents and materials are identical to those obtained through conventional means. However, our differentiator lies in going beyond personal study; we take an extra step by reselling. It’s important to note that we are not the official course providers, meaning certain premium services aren’t included in our package:
     • No coaching calls or scheduled sessions with the author.
     • No access to the author’s private Facebook group or web portal.
     • No entry to the author’s exclusive membership forum.
     • No direct email support from the author or their team.

   We operate independently, aiming to bridge the affordability gap without the additional services offered by official course channels. Your understanding of our unique approach is greatly appreciated.

Refund is acceptable:

• Firstly, item is not as explained
• Secondly, Item do not work the way it should.
• Thirdly, and most importantly, support extension can not be used.

Thank you for choosing us! We’re so happy that you feel comfortable enough with us to forward your business here.
