Publisher's description: Educating the Heart is a resource specifically designed to help teachers meet two of the most demanding challenges they face -- building student's respect for themselves and others, and promoting both personal and social responsibility. It provides the tools teachers need to turn their classroom into a safe and productive learning environment where students are empowered to make a difference in their own lives as well as the lives of others. Because self-identity and cultural identity are so intrinsically connected, the book begins with activities that celebrate children's customs--along with their individuality. In the second section, lessons on interdependence encourage students to value one another and work cooperatively. The section on personal responsibility provides practices in goal setting and student empowerment. The activities in the social responsibility section build skills in problem solving and conflict management, and involve students in community service projects. A philosophy of inclusion is reflected throughout the book with vignettes, quotes, and activities.
