Preschool Life Skills

Starting in the 2023-2024 school year RSTEM started using the Preschool Life Skills Curriculum in TK and Kindergarten classes. The program was developed initially at the University of Kansas by the renowned Dr. Greg Hanley and has been found to increase basic social skills 400% while reducing common problem behavior 70%. The program uses a Behavioral Skills Training method (instruction, modeling, rehearsal, and feedback).
