CORE COMPONENTS AND ELEMENTS OF THE INTERVENTION

Social and emotional skills

In enhancing social and emotional skills it is important to consider the evidence-


based approach that promotes positive relationships, emotional understanding, and self-
regulation. By integrating this inside the classroom, we can create a safe and welcoming
environment that supports students' emotional growth and well-being.

Here are some effective interventions:

● Self-Talk Superhero- this approach encourages students to develop positive self-


talk. Teach them to recognize and challenge negative thoughts by imagining
themselves as self-talk superheroes who can overcome challenges with resilience.
● Feelings Journal - this activity tends to maintain a feeling journal. Here they can
express their emotions, identify triggers and explore coping strategies. Having to
check their emotions regularly helps them have self-awareness and understand
their emotions.
● Good news- this activity will help students share their positive experiences or good
news. Having this will help them celebrate their achievements and moments of joy
and that will foster a positive classroom climate and strengthen social bonds
among other students.
● Positive and Constructive Feedback- this approach will teach students to provide
specific kind, and helpful feedback to peers. This activity will promote empathy
communication and relationship skill

Behavioral Skills

Behavioral skills are very crucial inside the classroom. Having identified the issues
related to this matter, it is very important in planning an intervention to address the gap
to consider what causes and triggers the behavior. The following are some of the
components and elements that we can use in the intervention to address the challenging
behaviors and promote positive outcomes.

● Target Behaviors, as we delve into the behavioral issue it is important that we


clearly identify the specific behavior that needs intervention. These behaviors
should be observable and measurable and relevant to the student's needs.
● Specific goals, we need to set clear and measurable goals related to the target
behavior. The goals should be attainable and aligned with the student's individual
needs.
● Intervention Description. Describing how the intervention to be implemented. In
this element, we can illustrate here the specific strategies, techniques, and
activities that will address the target behavior.
● Start Date and Frequency - This component will determine when the intervention
will begin and how often it will be implemented. Remember that consistency is
essential for effectiveness.
● Method of Evaluation- this component will set the criteria for evaluating the
success of the intervention. We can also define here how the progress can be
measured and monitored.
● Responsibilities- in this component, it is essential that we assign roles and
responsibilities involved in the intervention. This includes the teacher, support staff,
parents, and paraprofessionals.

Learning Skills

In conducting an intervention plan targeting the issue of learning skills, the


following components play an essential role.

● Universal Screening- identifying those students who may be at risk for poor
learning outcomes. Using assessment tools as an instrument to screen students
across various grade levels. It includes phonological awareness, fluency, and
literacy skills.
● Continuing Progress Monitoring- monitoring students' progress consistently is very
essential to track their growth and will help us identify the areas that need to be
improved.( We can adjust the plan based on ongoing data.
● Multi-Level Prevention System- in this component educators can implement a
tiered approach to intervention. First is the Core instruction, in this part, we will give
high-quality instruction based on the standard of the school. Second is targeted
intervention, we give additional support for students not meeting the benchmark.
Lastly is the Intensive Intervention, wherein we give individualized support for
students with significant learning challenges.
● Data-Based Decision Making- depending on the result using the assessment tool
we make informed decisions about students' progress and the effectiveness of the
intervention
● Effective Lesson- this component is very important as well that we align our
instruction with grade-level standards, we also include differentiation and address
the diverse learning styles of the students.
Family Dysfunction and Financial Strain

In this issue, it is very important that we tailor an intervention plan according to the
specific needs of the family and the developmental stage of the child. Collaboration
among those involved in the issue is very essential in the intervention. The following are
some of the core components that we consider in the intervention plan.

Family Dysfunction:

● Assessment and Diagnosis; it is very important that we assess the impact of family
dysfunction on children’s well-being.
● Psychoeducation/ Parent Training - educating parents and caregivers about
healthy family functioning. Provide effective communication, conflict resolution,
and coping strategies. Teach parenting skills, including positive discipline,
emotional regulation, and nurturing behaviors. Addressing the specific challenges
related to family dysfunction. Examples, substance abuse, domestic violence)
● Family Therapy- explore underlying issues, improve communication, and promote
cohesion.
● Individual Counseling for Children- in this component, we help children express
their feelings and cope with family stress.

Financial Strain:

● Family Literacy Education; teach children, and parents about budgeting, saving,
and responsible financial habits.
● Resource Navigation- Provide families with information on available financial
support.
● Stress Management and Coping Skills: Help parents and children manage stress
related to financial strain.
● Teach coping strategies to reduce anxiety and promote well-being
● School-Based Support: offer targeted interventions (ex. School supplies, meal
programs) to alleviate immediate needs.
● Raise awareness about financial strain‘s impact on children’s development.

Learning Space

In identifying this as an issue of the child’s development, it is essential that we


identify some components that will solve the issue.
● Physical Environment: in this component, we will look into the design of the
classroom. How do we arrange all the areas inside the classroom? This includes
the learning area, furniture equipment, and materials.
● ü Social-Emotional Environment: considering this as part of the learning
environment is very important because this will help students have interactions and
relationships with children, teachers, and family members.
● Temporal environment: it tackles the flow of time, including the timing, sequence,
and length of routines and activities throughout the day.
FACTORS TO CONSIDER

Social and emotional skills

The development of social and emotional skills that are critical to mental health
occurs during adolescence. These include learning to control emotions, establishing
healthy sleep habits, getting regular exercise, and improving coping, problem-solving, and
interpersonal skills. Families, schools, and the larger society all need to provide safe and
encouraging settings for its members. Mental health is influenced by several variables.
Teenagers' mental health may be impacted significantly by the number of risk factors they
are exposed to. Adolescents may experience stress due to a variety of factors, such as
peer pressure, identity exploration, and exposure to hardship. A teen's perceptions or
goals for the future may differ from their lived reality, and this discrepancy may be made
worse by gender norms and media impact.

A student needs a caring and affirming way of smiling, making eye contact, and
providing positive touch in order to support their mental health. A hug or a firm handshake
are two instances of pleasant contact.

In the last several years, there has been a greater public awareness of mental
health. The public is increasingly more aware of mental health issues and frequently
participates in initiatives centered on them. Though children's mental health frequently
affects their early existence, mental health is typically assumed to be something that
primarily affects adults.

Behavioral Skills

Peers, the school, the community at large, and family all have an effect on how
students behave as well as how well they learn and feel. Personal traits including age,
sex, temperament, personality, and physical and mental health can have an impact on
our behavior.

Learning Skills

One of the most crucial aspects of learning is attitude because, although


information and abilities are helpful, attitude is what motivates you to continue. Your
degree of enthusiasm, which is another essential component in maintaining your
motivation to increase your knowledge, attitude, abilities, and habits, can also be
determined by your attitude.
Family Dysfunction and Financial Strain

It is crucial to understand the specific needs of each family, which may include the
provision of financial support, counseling services, or access to community resources.
Additionally, recognizing and respecting cultural differences is important, as these factors
can significantly influence family dynamics and coping mechanisms. Collaborating closely
with families to establish a supportive partnership is also essential, fostering open
communication and mutual respect.

Learning Space

It is important to design environments that cater to the diverse needs of students.


This includes considering factors such as sensory sensitivities, mobility limitations, and
individual learning styles. Effective utilization of available resources, such as adaptive
furniture, sensory tools, or technology, can greatly enhance the learning environment.
Developing a budget plan that prioritizes essential elements for an inclusive learning
space is crucial, ensuring that cost-effective solutions are implemented without
compromising quality.
MEASURES OF SUCCESS

BEST PRACTICES

Social and emotional skills

Children are sociable creatures. To mature and thrive, they must engage, bond,
and socialize with children of the same age as well as with members of their immediate
family. It is the means by which people develop their sense of independence, emotional
control, self-worth, and even empathy for others. Children can express their feelings,
discover more about themselves, and develop their confidence via art. Allow the
youngster to use their work as a vehicle for self-expression. Consider holding a little show-
and-tell at the conclusion of the craft session. Their peers will see a greater openness in
them when they talk about their initiatives and can better express their feelings and ideas.

Behavioral Skills

Children are more likely to collaborate when given the freedom to undertake tasks
that they need or desire to complete. Additionally, they are less prone to become irate
and act out in inappropriate ways. Accordingly, assisting kids in picking up new abilities
can play a significant role in behavior management. Children gain independence,
confidence, and self-worth when they pick up new abilities. Therefore, encouraging
children to pick up new talents can also be crucial to their general growth.

Learning Skills

There are three main strategies you can use to assist kids in learning anything
from more complex social skills to basic self-care:

1. Modelling. The most effective method for teaching kids a new skill is modelling.
Social skills can benefit from modelling. Modelling can be used to teach your
child nonverbal communication skills and behaviours like tone of voice and body
language.
2. Instruction. By showing your child what to do or how to do it, you can aid in their
learning.

Appropriate ways to give instructions:

● Speak intelligibly and calmly.


● Talk to the child in terms they can comprehend. Don't be too fancy; just be brief.
● Only give directions to the child when they are paying attention to you.
3. Step-by-step. One by one, the goal is to assist kids in learning the individual
components of a skill or task.

How to provide detailed instruction:

● If you can, start with the simplest step.


● After teaching the child the step, let them attempt it.
● Continue to assist with the remaining tasks, or finish them yourself.
● Teach your child the next step, and so on, after they can complete the previous
one consistently and without your assistance.
● Continue until the child is able to complete the task or skill on their own.

Family Dysfunction and Financial Strain

● Encourage open and honest communication within the family. Create a safe space
where family members feel comfortable discussing their feelings, concerns, and
needs.
● Provide education and resources on financial management and budgeting. Help
family members understand the importance of financial planning and saving.
● Connect families with support systems such as counseling services, community
programs, and financial assistance programs to help them cope with stress and
improve family dynamics.
● Recognize and reinforce positive behaviors and efforts made by family members
to improve their situation. Celebrate small victories and progress towards financial
stability.
● Teach and model effective conflict resolution skills within the family. Encourage
compromise, active listening, and understanding of differing perspectives.

Learning Space

● Ensure that the learning space is comfortable, well-lit, and free from distractions.
Provide comfortable seating and adequate workspace for students.
● Keep the learning space organized and functional, with easy access to materials
and resources. Create designated areas for different activities, such as reading,
writing, and group work.
● Provide a variety of engaging materials and resources that cater to different
learning styles and interests. Include books, educational games, art supplies, and
technology tools.
● Be flexible and adaptable in how the learning space is used. Allow for different
configurations and setups based on the needs of the students and the activities
being conducted.
● Ensure that the learning space is safe and secure, with appropriate measures in
place to prevent accidents and injuries. Consider factors such as lighting, furniture
arrangement, and access control.
● Create an inclusive environment that respects and celebrates diversity. Ensure
that all students feel welcome and valued in the learning space.
