Curriculum Overview
 PATTS consists of nine, one hour weekly
sessions. It utilizes a consistent group facilitator and
co-facilitator in a closed group format.
The groups utilize group discussion, role play, problem
solving sessions and review to facilitate the learning process.
This program also emphasizes the necessity for
integrating the child’s other support people into the program.
Parent newsletters are sent home three times during the group
process on ways to support their child in their new conflict skills.
A parent night is offered to all PATTS participants as an
opportunity to inform the parents of the new conflict resolution
skills that their children have learned.
This will encourage the parents or guardians to support their
children in utilizing their newly acquired skills.
The parent night curriculum is included in this book.
The children who are participating in the PATTS
program in the school system also need the support of their
teachers. This program
also provides a teacher training so that the teachers can utilize
the PATTS program in classroom conflicts.
The curriculum is detailed with group
objectives, materials needed, group activities, alternative
activities for diverse groups and handouts provided.
Group facilitator notes are provided in each group session to
facilitate accurate replication of the program. |
