Explore the world of social observation and learn how it lays the foundation for better interpersonal relationships and academic learning. Understanding what it means to be a Social Detective (social observer), especially during the start of a new school year, is crucial to navigating change, academic learning, making friends & more. In this free webinar, we’ll explore the highly accessible and easy-to-embed You Are a Social Detective! Curriculum & Teaching Guide. You’ll watch a curriculum lesson taught by a mainstream third-grade teacher, peruse curriculum-generated student work, and discover innovative ways to adapt these social learning concepts for the secondary grades.

It’s human nature to want to help others, but it’s often difficult for people to ask for help, especially those with social, emotional, and academic learning differences. In this webinar, we’ll discuss why children, students, and adults may resist help or refuse to ask for it and we’ll deconstruct the multi-step process through which we ask for help. We’ll also explore the social emotional benefits for all participating in this unique and rewarding relationship.

Perspective taking can happen anytime at school—during academic learning time, in the hallways, playground, or lunchroom. In this free webinar you will learn about perspective taking in the classroom—supporting students to attend to and interpret their own and others’ thoughts and feelings, whether simply sharing space, interacting, or deciding if and how to participate.

Learn how to teach the dynamics of face-to-face communication, a crucial part of the social emotional experience—and now a source of anxiety and stress for many! In this free webinar, we’ll provide many examples of teaching frameworks and Social Thinking® Vocabulary to encourage the development of metacognitive awareness and practical strategies for use in the classroom and home.

Chronic stress and anxiety can impact children’s ability to focus and learn, whether it’s in the classroom or through an online education portal. Helping children metacognitively explore their stress is the first step toward their self-regulation, and this metacognitive understanding also helps educators, therapists, and caregivers learn how to avoid creating even more stressors for children. In this webinar, Michelle Garcia Winner guides parents and professionals in creating structured empathetic discussions with their children and/or students using visual supports and tips.

Many students who are academically strong struggle with executive functioning, which can deeply impact their well-being in the social, academic, and job worlds. Join our founder, Michelle Garcia Winner, for this free webinar to break down executive functions and learn how to teach them.

There is a big difference between using reward systems to encourage students to behave and teaching students how to self-regulate. Join Michelle Garcia Winner, the founder of the Social Thinking Methodology, to explore the many moving parts of self-regulation and which of our strategies, frameworks, and teaching materials help students develop these competencies across age groups.

In this webinar, Michelle Garcia Winner, the founder of Social Thinking, discusses an evidence-informed Social Thinking - Social Competency Model. This model is a way to think about a four-step developmental process to help educators and therapists better support their students and clients.
