Important stuff first:
We’ve made these Supplemental Visual Teaching Tools available online for curriculum purchasers only. These materials are free to those who paid for the curriculum, but are not meant to be free for all. Please respect our hard work and do not share this link with others who have not purchased the paper/digital copy of the storybook and curriculum. Do not post this content for others to use (or sell), edit the materials in any way, or share on internal platforms within a school or district. Think Social Publishing owns the copyright for the Social Detective images, PPT slides, and downloadable Thinksheets. We hope to offer more of this type of visual teaching support in the future, but it will be dependent upon the professional integrity of those who access this page. Please help us by reporting copyright violations to: info@socialthinking.com.
Fun stuff next:
Each of the 10 lessons has a short teaching PowerPoint found below to make your lessons come alive with visuals from the storybook. Each PPT starts with a copyright slide and terms of use slide, but then moves into images and text from the storybook and curriculum. Please note, this is only a sampling of images and lessons. There are additional extension lessons, discussion points, and activities found in the actual curriculum, including writing prompts and lesson goals. This curriculum has been piloted in large school districts, primarily Tier 1 (general education) classrooms, small groups in clinics, and individual teaching sessions online or at home and school. It is appropriate for use in any of these settings. We hope you have fun teaching your students, clients, and kids how to be a Social Detective!
