Cedar Park High School – Personal and Social Skills

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

Personal Social Skills emphasizes interpersonal skill development as a Prerequisite(s) to meaningful employment and healthy relationships. Particular attention is placed on the skills of greeting, responding to authority, interpersonal appropriateness, problem-solving, and conflict resolution within a situational context. Use of appropriate techniques is monitored through a variety of instructional settings including home, school, job, and other settings available in the community. Skills of verbal communication, appropriate physical contact and body language, expression of anger or disagreement, reporting inappropriate behaviors of others, and the ability to develop trust and work cooperatively are introduced and frequently reinforced. As the student moves through the levels of instruction, skills build and expand to promote transition to independence in adulthood.
