Show Notes
In today's episode I want to share a strategy that has become a huge tool for students to learn how to problem solve social situations. I've talked about it in the past and describe it in more detail in this post. Traditionally, in the literature we have about it, it's called a social autopsy. However, I have found that many students (and sometimes teachers) hate this name. Because those students are really perceptive. Who wants to have their behavior autopsied after all!
So one of them suggested the name After-Action Reports. So I'm going to start referring to them as After-Action Analysis Reports. And it's the analysis that is really key to helping students learn to problem solve.
