In Level D, the curriculum focuses on enabling students to learn how to be socially perceptive. Students learn to guide their behaviour across a range of familiar situations. They learn to adhere to class practice, offer assistance, share, initiate activities and regulate emotional expression.
Students are learning to name emotional responses and becoming aware of how their reactions impact on others. Students are learning about their characteristics, strengths and preferences. The curriculum provides opportunities for students to build their independence to establish and maintain friendships and skills required to work in a small group.
By the end of Level D, students can name emotional responses and identify the cause of emotions. They can identify some characteristics of self. They use cues and prompts to solve simple problems.
Students can identify people associated with particular events and routines. They attend to and implement some basic social rules. They cooperate with others when working or playing in groups, showing an understanding of the impact of their behaviour on others.
