Publisher's Description of Training Aliens Faith-Based Training Manual & Teacher's Guide Level 1
Training Aliens teaches K-8th graders social and emotional skills in a fun, confidence-building way. NASA has asked Space Camp attendees to teach visiting aliens about making friends, managing emotions, and participating in groups as part of a test program. When the aliens have difficulty with a skill, campers are given two common options to manage the behavior. Using a you-choose format, campers learn that both options are ineffective with humorous consequences.
After reading the story in the Training Aliens text, teachers lead campers through the related mission in the Training Manual. Each mission includes three steps which may be taught on three separate days or combined to teach on one day. Curriculum includes free access to a supplementary video course.
Training Aliens, Level 1, is not an independent curriculum. It is best suited for younger students and families, co-ops, and classes learning foundational skills together. Students grow in confidence as they learn skills they need to train aliens about: meeting new people, managing frustration, joining a group, sibling rivalry, apologies, and more.
Training Aliens does not use worksheets to teach students who may already be challenged by them. Instead, activities used to teach 16 lessons include: discussion, video lessons, challenges, dramatization, Bible stories (faith-based); Scriptures (faith-based); picture books of your choice; games, space camp activities and snack ideas.

Category Description for Training Aliens
Teaching social skills has become a priority in recent years. Thanks to Dr. Melanie Wilson, it can be fun and interactive to teach too! This course has 4 units covered in 16 weeks: friendship & communication, emotion management, group membership, and problem solving. Each unit includes 4 missions (1 video per unit). Using the Training Manual & Teacher Guide (available in a secular or faith-based version) and the Adventures in Social & Emotional Skills book of stories and scenarios (use a Bible for the faith-based version, or a combination of your Bible and the fictional stories), your group reads the story aloud. Choose from 2 options for dealing with the challenge. Students speculate on what will happen! Students are also assigned tasks to complete such as saying hello to 5 new people. There is no student workbook, rather, you can print PDFs for each student when necessary. The author plans to create more levels. Additional required resources include a picture book of your choice and colored pencils. ~Sara
