www.5pointscale.com was developed to share information about the use of the 5-point scale and other systems to teach social and emotional concepts to children and adults who could use some extra support.
Kari is committed to positive support for all students and to the teaching of skills needed for social success. I hope my site will inform, teach, support and excite anyone looking for some good ideas.
