Social Decision Making

Social Decision Making focuses on teaching skills that enable students to be reflective, careful and responsible decision makers and problem solvers working with critical thinking skills.

The activities worksheets build skills such as self-control, listening, respectful communication, how to give and receive help, and how to work cooperatively and fairly in groups. These skills can impact on life in the classroom, at home and in the wider community.

Social Decision Making also helps build group cohesion, looking at the acceptance of differences and the ability to understand different points of view.
The programme uses a wide range of cooperative learning methods, such as small-group brainstorming, problem solving, and role-playing activities.
Includes assessment tools for tracking progress and numerous photocopiable worksheets.

Age: 11-13
