What’s the Buzz?
Written by Mark Le Messurier and Madhavi Nawana Parker
A unique 16 lesson social skills enrichment programme designed to explicitly
teach primary aged children how to think and relate socially.
It is for ALL children, and especially those who struggle to make friends and fit-in
socially.
This lively, role-play and play-based programme targets everyday themes - how
to greet, make and keep friends, fit in, read one’s own emotions, read the feelings
of others, deal with competition and cope with worry, frustration and
disappointment more constructively.
The engaging direct method of instruction is built on an extensive body of
research believed to stimulate social thinking and accomplish powerful outcomes.
What’s the Buzz? is;
Sequenced - it follows a logical break down of each skill
Active - it uses role-plays and rehearsal with feedback
Focused - it dedicates time solely on teaching a specific skill
Explicit - it teaches a specific skill each session
The programme has wide appeal to teachers, counsellors, psychologists, teacher assistants, support staff and parent volunteers
in schools. While tailored for small specific groups of children it also has a broader multi-purpose scope with larger mainstream
classes. What’s the Buzz? has applications in private clinical settings; psychologists, speech pathologists, occupational
therapists, social workers, and allied health professionals.
Recognising the most influential people in a child’s life, each lesson includes extensive notes offering parents and teachers
handy ideas to reinforce the themes presented.
