Description
Build attitudes of respect and caring, reduce problem behaviors, empower students to solve problems, and educate the whole child with this flexible, user-friendly activity guide. The lessons' literature-based connections allow teachers to "build in" rather than "add on" social-emotional learning (SEL) throughout the day. Field-tested in classrooms across the United States, these activities when fully implemented have resulted in improved school climate, greater parent engagement, increased academic achievement, and reduction in discipline referrals. Features of the book include:
- 100+ easy-to-implement year-round activities that integrate info the daily curriculum in all subject areas
- Monthly themes focused on empathy, bullying prevention, teamwork, decision-making, and more
- Concise lesson formats (Read, Discuss, Do, Relate)
- Discussion and writing prompts
- Built-in assessments

“The series, organized in age-appropriate guides for preK–K, 1–2, 3–5, and 6–8, includes practical activities and a literature foundation, making it easy for teachers to infuse social and emotional learning throughout the day.”—PaperClip Communications’ Curriculum Review
“We’ve seen a dramatic increase in the use of conflict resolution skills among our students, a reduction in the number of inappropriate behaviors leading to disciplinary action, a noticeable change in school culture, and more parent awareness of appropriate social skills and emotional literacy skills.”—Assistant Superintendent
