Results of a Survey and Follow-up Interview with Head Start Staff Concerning Social Skills Instruction in Preschool Classrooms	2013	20	.pdf	application/pdf	10482	520	51	Research that is available indicates that teachers rate social skills as being highly important in the preschool curriculum (Baumgart, Filler, & Askvig, 1991; West, Brown, Grego, & Johnson, 2007), but social skill instruction receives less emphasis due to the increased pressure to focus on academic skills (Copple & Bredekamp, 2009; Elkind, 2001; Stipek, 2006). These strategies include prevention methods (e.g., teaching behavior expectations, creating developmentally appropriate environments), strategies to support positive teacher-child relationships, and classroomwide social skill interventions (e.g., the use of social competence curricula) (Brown, Odom & Conroy, 2001; Brown, Odom & McConnell, 2008; DEC, 2007, DEC, 2009, Fox et al., 2003; Lewis, Beckner, & Stormont, 2009).	cache/dialog-175.pdf	txt/dialog-175.txt
