Learning, behavior, personality, and intellect evolve through the sum of small daily experiences
With DTT, educators focus on teaching healthy social, emotional, and behavioral competencies. Daily learning experiences are designed for students to experience incremental successes. Outcomes produce measurable gains in
- Behavior
- Communication
- Socialization
- Cognition
These four DTT content areas, Behavior (“Doing”), Communication (“Saying”), Socialization (“Relating”), and Cognition (“Thinking”) form the content for guiding the social, emotional, and behavioral development of children and teens, PreK to age 16. Within these areas, 171 milestone competencies are sequenced as specific learning objectives. For each content area, these key competencies are sequenced into five distinct stages of development that all children experience — with or without disabilities. The stages provide a guide for developmentally and emotionally appropriate program goals, instructional strategies, lessons, activities, materials, learning environments, and behavior management. The stages also define adult role models needed by children and teens at each stage.
