Manhattan College Memorial Hall 422 Education Department Manhattan College Pkway Riverdale, NY 10471		Peter J. McCarthy, Assistant Professor DrPeter@pmccarthy.com It is incumbent on us as educators to do more than just disseminate information to our students. We must establish a culture called “school”. Schools must provide a social education as well as an academic education. Social skill sets, will be scripted and taught. Multiple opportunities must be provided for rehearsal of these skill sets. We must constantly reinforce the appropriate use of these social skills. Our ultimate goal is to have these skills generalized to other venues in a student’s life.
