The Adventures of the Little Tin Tortoise: A Self-esteem Story With Activities for Teachers, Parents And Carers

The Adventures of the Little Tin Tortoise: A Self-esteem Story With Activities for Teachers, Parents And CarersThe task of helping troubled children to regain self-esteem, or indeed to build self-esteem where none exists, is  a complex and multi-layered undertaking.
This book, while acknowledging the difficulty of such a task for some children, focuses on the elements of self-esteem that are potentially within each child’s ability to manage.
As parents, teachers or carers we have a vital role to play in helping young children to explore and develop these
important foundation elements. One of the ways in which we can do this is through the medium of story.

For ease of use the book is divided into three parts.
Part 1 gives a brief introduction to the ‘art’ of story-telling and the nature of healthy self-esteem and offers guidelines for this particular story. A suggested reading list is provided at the end of this section for anyone who would like to explore the themes of self-esteem, emotional literacy, story-telling or group work with children in more depth.
Part 2 holds the story and offers suggestions for discussion topics which can be used to expand on the various elements of self-esteem covered in each chapter.
In Part 3 you will find a selection of activity sheets together with guidelines for using these with groups or with individual children.

How to Create an Independent Research ProgramOnly a few hundred schools across the United States have research programs. Although some of the schools with programs are magnet schools or highly advantaged schools, many ordinary schools have successful programs. Every school is capable of at least a modest program for those students who want to work on independent research projects.This practical book provides a school district with a comprehensive guide on how to establish an independent research program. Use this book as your step-by -step guide to creating an independent research program and preparing your students to enter the national independent research competitions. Although the curriculum described in this book is based on the objectives of various national competitions, the students are not in a competitive classroom environment. Instead, the competition rules are used to create a working atmosphere that resembles the professional world.
Krieger takes you from selling the idea of the program to educators, students, and the community through critical curriculum and methodology for the teacher, to finally entering national research competitions and continuing your program.
