I am trying to plan a lesson to make students aware of what they're saying and whether it's appropriate or not. I'm having a hard time finding age appropriate lessons that pertain to on-the-job situations. Does anyone else teach this?

Thanks!

Hi Susan,

Something I have found really helpful is Five Against the Law. It is a really great book, I think it is about $20 on amazon and it talks about behavior on a scale of 1- 5 1 being harmless normal behavior (ex- waiving or saying high to someone), 3 being things that may be "weird" behaviors or things that may make others annoyed or uncomfortable to a 5- physically and or emotionally abusive behavior that can equal termination and legal consequences. It really breaks it down for the students and gives them something to visualize and language for us to use with the student. So if there was a student maybe walking too close to another student you could point out "Hey walking that close to someone is a level 3 behavior that may make them uncomfortable".

Hi Susan,
Video modeling can be a really effective way to teach this. Do you have a Speech Language Pathologist that you could call from your school district to chat about this? I bet they could offer you some cool ideas on this topic!
Thanks!
