VIDEO MODELING
Video modeling is a unique teaching method that focuses on a targeted behavior or skill that may need to be reinforced. It takes place by watching an informative and visually stimulating video of a person modeling the desired behavior.
"A Day in Pittsburgh" is a video modeling gem! Appropriate sightseeing social skills are modeled from beginning to end in this real-life tour of one of America’s great cities. Viewers can enjoy a stress-free and anxiety-free traveling experience, while learning how to listen to a museum curator respectfully, act friendly towards strangers of all backgrounds and cultures, and dine with manners.
Bob and Melarie provide information about Pittsburgh in a lighthearted and entertaining manner. Moreover, they model a number of social skills, such as eye contact, hand gestures and questions. "A Day in Pittsburgh" would be a great tool and asset for any teacher preparing students for a field trip.
