Overview
ASSET is a video-based training package that includes two DVDs, a 174-page leader's guide, and a set of reproducible program materials. The training approach combines on-screen modeling scenes, group discussions, role plays, and homework assignments to teach adolescents the skills they need for successful social interactions. ASSET features 32 realistic scenes of adolescents modeling appropriate and inappropriate behaviors with peers, parents, teachers, and other adults. Peer narrators introduce each scene, discuss what went right or wrong, and suggest additional ways of handling the situations.
ASSET's video component serves as a powerful teaching tool. Each video segment contains four vignettes that focus on a specific skill area. These areas have been selected as critical to social development by psychologists, educators, parents, and teenagers themselves.
Segment 1: Giving Positive Feedback—Thanking or complimenting others.
Segment 2: Giving Negative Feedback—Expressing criticism or disappointment in a calm, nonthreatening manner.
Segment 3: Accepting Negative Feedback—Listening calmly to criticism, asking permission to tell your side of the story.
