Practical, research—based lessons for middle school educators to teach students pro—social attitudes and behaviors to prevent bullying.
Create a Culture of Kindness in Middle School
focuses on positive and pro—social attitudes and behaviors that build a respectful and compassionate school environment, while also addressing the tough issues of prejudice, anger, exclusion, and bullying. Through role—playing, perspective—taking, sharing, writing, discussion, and more, students develop the insights and skills they need to accept differences, resolve conflicts peacefully, stop bullying among peers, and create a community of kindness in their classrooms and school. Based on survey data gathered by the authors from more than 1,000 students, the book’s research—based lessons are easy to implement and developmentally appropriate. Digital content includes student handouts from the book.
