I just finished the second draft for my Entry 3 portfolio for my National Board Certification. Thanks to my coPinoy Teacher, Claire, for doing the editing of the content for me. My co-NBC candidates who are taking the NBC Prep course with me also went through some of my works earlier during our class at the George Washington University.This is what I was able to do so far, still on draft. "It's not yet over 'til the fat lady sings"...

I found a very good reference for this portfolio entry online: Promoting Social SuccessA Curriculum for Children with Special NeedsBy Gary N. Siperstein, Ph.D., & Emily Paige Rickards, M.A.
This book has a lot of information on improving the social skills of students with mild to moderate disabilities and their peers. Field-tested with 400 elementary school students, this curriculum focuses on developing the cognitive skills behind appropriate social behavior rather than teaching children a set of specific behaviors to enact. Along with a thorough overview, teachers will get 66 activity-based lessons on social skills, organized around topics that build on each other. Students will learn to:
- assess their own emotional states and develop new coping mechanisms
- identify and interpret social cues and other interpersonal dynamics
- set appropriate social goals, generate problem-solving strategies, and think about the consequences of their actions
- consider characteristics of good friendships and explore ways to improve their relationships
