The second chapter, "Getting To Know Each Other" contains seven activities including the trust experience, birthday bunches, and making it work. In the third chapter, "Getting To Know Yourself," activities include going my way, it's me, your genetic secrets, and messages for me. The fourth chapter emphasizes understanding our humanness. Activities include the people picture, my human needs, how far will you go to belong, family collage, families care, and "What is real?" The fifth chapter examines verbal and nonverbal listening skills. Activities include a listening exercise, the paper game, body communication, looking for a listener, and "The Tiger Lake Tale." The sixth chapter describes listening for feelings. Activities include completing a series of "I feel" statements, imagining the color of feelings, exploring the difference between facts and feelings, and a "best friends" story discussion. The seventh chapter focuses on responding. Activities include analysing examples of not so nice advice, finding the best response, and a "response rally" for evaluating responses. Chapter 8 discusses taking care of the listener. Activities include creating a logo for listeners, finding your personal space, circles, and an unusual day in the life of a peer listener. Activities in chapter 9, "Making Choices," include dealing with puzzling decisions, and using all your skills. The tenth chapter contains a post-test on the Peer Listening Inventory, and a closing ceremony. (LLL)

This book was released on 2012-04-25 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sage advice for frustrated parents." KIRKUS REVIEWS Through their years of working with Middle Schoolers and their parents, Darryl Sollerh and Leslie King, LCSW, have developed a compassionate yet realistic approach that takes into consideration both the parent and child's point of view. Filled with real-life examples, they examine the likely flashpoints for family conflicts, from Middle Schooler social lives to their homework habits, from their misrepresentations to their calls for fairness, from their demands for independence to their need for dependence. Sollerh and King's approach, at heart, seeks to spark an empathetic awakening in both parent and child, not only as they each meet the initially difficult phases of any challenge or crisis, but also as they move into the future, guided by a new awareness capable of supporting their ongoing efforts to grow in a relationship of shared dialogs, mutual respect and deepening understanding.

Book excerpt: The untold story of the root cause of America's education crisis--and the seemingly endless cycle of multigenerational poverty. It was only after years within the education reform movement that Natalie Wexler stumbled across a hidden explanation for our country's frustrating lack of progress when it comes to providing every child with a quality education. The problem wasn't one of the usual scapegoats: lazy teachers, shoddy facilities, lack of accountability. It was something no one was talking about: the elementary school curriculum's intense focus on decontextualized reading comprehension "skills" at the expense of actual knowledge. In the tradition of Dale Russakoff's The Prize and Dana Goldstein's The Teacher Wars, Wexler brings together history, research, and compelling characters to pull back the curtain on this fundamental flaw in our education system--one that fellow reformers, journalists, and policymakers have long overlooked, and of which the general public, including many parents, remains unaware. But The Knowledge Gap isn't just a story of what schools have gotten so wrong--it also follows innovative educators who are in the process of shedding their deeply ingrained habits, and describes the rewards that have come along: students who are not only excited to learn but are also acquiring the knowledge and vocabulary that will enable them to succeed. If we truly want to fix our education system and unlock the potential of our neediest children, we have no choice but to pay attention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite calls for a more preventive and developmental mode of functioning, school counseling has tended to be driven by a reactive and sometimes crisis orientation. Like social workers and school, counseling, and clinical psychologists, school counselors typically function to alleviate deficits, often in a small percentage of the students they serve. Although this orientation has served school counselors well in many instances, it is not empowering, it does not serve all students, and it does not replace those deficits with the type of positive characteristics and abilities that schools are attempting to develop. This is the first book to provide a comprehensive look at the theory, research, and intervention strategies that comprise a strengths-based, developmental approach to school counseling. In keeping with ASCA recommendations, the Strengths-Based School Counseling (SBSC) framework discusses academic, personal/social and career development outcomes for all students at the elementary, middle and secondary school levels. Other key features include: integrative framework?SBSC builds upon contemporary research from a variety of areas: school counseling, developmental psychology, school psychology, education, positive psychology, resiliency, and social work. evidence-based interventions?detailed examples of successful evidence-based interventions and environments are presented at the elementary, middle, and high school levels for each major developmental area (academic, personal/social, and career) identified in ASCA?s National Model. readability and pedagogy?beautifully written, the text includes lists of key points, tables of student strengths, illustrative examples, and student exercises.
