Abstract	The Connecting with Others program, initially developed to teach prosocial skills to special-needs students within regular classroom settings, offers an alternative strategy to classroom management and discipline through instruction in self-regulation skills and conflict resolution. The program for elementary grades consists of a K-2 volume and its companion for grades 3-5. The 30 lessons in each volume are based on 3 theoretical approaches: Transactional Analysis, assertion training, and cognitive behavior modification. They are grouped within the following skill areas: (1) concept of self and others; (2) socialization; (3) problem solving and conflict resolution; (4) communication; (5) sharing; and (6) empathy and caring. Each lesson involves active participation and stresses generalization of the skills and concepts taught to the real-world environment. Instructional strategies used throughout the program include storytelling, relaxation techniques, modeling, behavioral rehearsal, creative visualization, and cooperative learning. The lessons may be presented as a separate curriculum, or they may be incorporated in academic subjects such as social studies, language arts, or health education. In each volume, appendix A presents a selected bibliography of children's literature, organized according to the specific skill areas, and appendix B includes newsletters to orient parents to the basic concepts underlying the program, as well as to the specific content of each skill area. Each volume contains about 100 references. (EV)
