Slide 9 Big Questions for Teaching
• When am I providing opportunities for children to learn and practice social and emotional skills?
• What happens in my classroom when children don’t have those skills?
• Can I identify opportunities across my daily routine to teach and learn social & emotional lessons at a universal level?
• How can I identify my strengths and my areas for growth in Tier 1 social and emotional skill teaching and learning?

Slide 11 Hyson and Taylor Checklist
“A Checklist of Everyday Strategies to Promote Prosocial Development”
(Developed by Marilou Hyson and Jackie Taylor)
Is each child-especially any child who may be struggling with behavioral challenges-
involved in frequent, friendly, individual interactions with teachers?
Are classroom jobs used to build prosocial skills and a sense of community?
Does the physical environment promote cooperation and community participation?
Are photos displayed that show children working and playing together and that show
children as members of their class and of their families?
Do adults model prosocial behavior by showing empathy and kindness to coworkers as
well as to children by using respectful language such as thank you and please?

Slide 12 Do teachers specifically, sincerely acknowledge children’s prosocial behavior?
Do teachers explain the reasons behind rules and help children understand the effects
of their behavior on others?
Do classroom rules include positive, prosocial expectations - the dos, not just the
don’ts?
Do teachers scaffold children’s efforts to be helpful and kind by giving them words to
use or offering suggestions about what do to?
Do teachers prompt children to help them learn prosocial behavior?
Do families receive practical, culturally relevant tips during home visits or at parent
meetings to encourage prosocial behavior at home?

Slide 21 Embedded Learning Opportunities (ELOs)
• Embedded learning opportunities ensure that children’s outcomes and individually targeted skills (behaviors) are addressed during daily activities in a manner that expands, modifies, or is integral to the activity in a meaningful way

Slide 23 Antecedents
• The condition or context under which the target skill/behavior will occur and can be observed– Location or time (during daily activities, at circle time, in
the bathroom)
– Context (when playing with peers, when asked a question, given a directive)
• The occurrence of an action/event that happens before the target behavior or elicits that target behavior– Adults (e.g., teachers, caregivers, therapists)
– Peers/siblings
– The physical environment (e.g., object, event, picture/sign/word)

Slide 24 Antecedents
• Antecedents are designed to elicit target skills/behaviors from a child
• Antecedents are provided by adults, peers, and the environment
• Antecedents should not disrupt a child’s learning/play but rather, should enhance, shape, or expand

Slide 25 Target Responses/Behaviors
• Are observable and measurable child action that can be seen or heard
• Have a beginning and an end
• Should be developmentally appropriate and functional

Slide 27 Target Behaviors Defined
Some target behaviors will require a definition
– Participates/Engages – Need to define/describe how a child would participate (e.g., by listening, by answering questions, by following directions)
– Solves problems– Need to define/describe the strategies or actions the child uses to solve problems (e.g., asks for adult help, moves objects/materials, negotiates with a peer).
– Shares – Need to define/describe how a child shares (e.g., child has materials, offers or responds to request from peer for materials
– Turn Taking – Need to define/describe what turn taking consists of, or how many times it should occur for a turn to count (e.g., might ask for a turn with a toy, might initiate turn taking games

Slide 28 Consequences/Feedback
• Consequences are the adult, peer, or environmental events that follow a child’s targeted or non-targeted response/behavior that support the child
• Consequences should– Be logical
– Increase the likelihood the targeted behavior will occur again
– Match what the child is interested in
– Be motivational
• Continuum of consequences exist (focus on intrinsic)– Extrinsic
– Intrinsic

Slide 31 Example of a Preschool ELO
Antecedent Response/Behavior Consequence
During a play activity ateacher prompts child to get their peers attention or the environment/activity prompts the child to get the peers attention
* - Getting a peer’s attention by verbally saying their name or tapping them on the shoulder
* - The peer gives their attention to the child in a positive way, teacher may acknowledge the positive interaction
x - Yell at a peer, or grab/poke them incessantly to get their attention
x – The peer will not give attention to the child and teacher will remind child how to gain someone’s attention appropriately

* - Turn Taking – letting a peer engage in a play exchange with meaningful materials
* - Peer will say “thanks for giving me a turn”, adult could tell both children that they are doing a nice job taking turn and a thumbs up, child will engage in a positive social interaction with a peer
x - Grabbing materials from a peer, pushing, not letting peer have a turn, saying no
x - Adult will prompt peer to say the child’s name and ask again. Then the adult will intervene, get the child’s attention and let them know the peer has requested and turn and encourage/support the child to give the peer a turn.

Slide 36 How Often
• Frequency of opportunities should be based upon the child, the skill/behavior and the setting

Slide 37 How Often Is Based OnStages of Learning
• Acquisition – new skill or concept
• Fluency – the ability to immediately use the skill or concept without a prompt
• Maintenance – continuing to use the skill or concept over time
• Generalization – applying the skill or concept to new situations, people, activities, ideas, and settings

• Ensure timely and meaningful consequences/feedback to the child
• Consider your sequence of steps for the activity

Slide 41 Learning Opportunities
• Learning opportunities allow children to practice, perform, or attempt to produce targeted behaviors
• Learning opportunities can be created by an adult, peer, the physical environment, or an attribute internal to the child
• Learning opportunities should provide targeted feedback to the child

Slide 42 Writing Embedding Schedules
• Emphasizes use of daily activities
• Allows for individualization of group and center-based activities
• Ensures multiple opportunities to practice and strengthen skills
• Consider child’s preferences and what motivates the child

Slide 45 Brining It Together
• The ARC process should be used at Tier 3 to guide and implement embedded learning opportunities
• The ARC process can be used at Tier 2 and at Tier 1 if you want or have data
• Remember, to match the ELO to child interest and activities that motivate the child.
