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

Digital content includes all of the book's reproducible forms.
