Most Requested Topics and Titles:
Becoming a Win-Win Teacher
Questions about the practical realities faced by new teachers—whether straight out of college, returning after an absence, or coming to the profession from another career. A great resource for discussing the reasons 50% of new teachers leave the profession within the first few years, as well as why some of us hang in for decades. Topics include building a support system, countering common win-lose practices with win-win alternatives, discrepancies between schools and the economy (or society in general), and taking care of yourself.
Creating Emotionally Safe Schools
Questions to explore dimensions of school safety, including bullying, teasing, and social violence, as well as school policies, discipline issues, and learning needs that can compromise a positive school climate. Includes brain research to help keep adults and kids out of survival.
High School’s Not Forever
Questions about the reality that thousands of young people face every day—good and bad. Learn about what kids are trying to tell us, in their own words, about where they hurt, what they need to feel confident and successful. For anyone living or working with students, Grades 8-12.
Magic, Miracles and Synchronicity
Questions about the topics addressed in this life-affirming book intended to inspire reflection, affirmation, and documentation on gifts such as intuitive insights, “coincidences,” beauty, growth, accomplishment, help and support, and day-to-day miracles that occur in people’s lives, and why such activities are so important.
Mentors, Masters & Mrs. MacGregor
Questions about this inspiring collection of stories about teachers who made a difference in a young person’s life. Look at the themes and patterns that adults can use to mentor and support kids of all ages, and to create the kinds of relationships and environments for which they, too, will be remembered.
The Parent’s Littls Book of Lists
Do’s and Don’ts of Effective Parenting. Questions about the nearly 100 lists in this book—and the hundreds of ideas they present—to help parents and caregivers of children of all ages effectively establish their authority, build skills and responsibility, solve problems, encourage cooperation and mutual respect, and enhance the quality of their relationships.
Parents, Teens & Boundaries
Questions to help parents and caregivers create effective authority relationships by setting clear, positive boundaries, emphasizing positive consequences, and following through consistently. Reduce stress in parent-child relationships, build cooperation and mutual respect.
The Win-Win Classroom
