Your students will learn how to cope with difficult people by watching how others cope in social situations, then re-enacting or practicing these strategies themselves. This is called "Video Modeling" and the BeCool series uses it to dramatize successful and unsuccessful ways of relating to others. "Video Modeling" provides role ideals, or models, to demonstrate specific coping strategies that can be emulated by students. Review these behaviors with your students through "stop action replay" You can examine how positive behaviors affect others as well as witness the unfortunate consequences of inappropriate behavior. Just as an athlete improves skills through video replay review, your students will learn to enhance their own social performance through the "Video Models" found in the BeCool video programs.
