Don't Be That KID! At School Resource Guide

The Don't Be That KID! At School Resource Guide accompanies the children's book Don't Be That KID! At School. It can be used independently by teachers and parents to help reinforce desired behaviors and character education principles. The Guide was developed to assist in establishing classroom expectations and positive behavior modeling in schools and can be expanded to any setting. Although separated into appropriate activities for grades K & 1, 2 & 3, 4 & 5, the Guide can simply and effectively be adapted for all ages and abilities. The Guide begins with ideas for creating classroom/school/household expectations, and goes on to provide sample activities to assist in learning positive character building values, such as honesty, consideration, responsibility, kindness, respect, including others, problem solving, making good choices, completing tasks, respecting others' space, respecting school property, being positive, learning from elders, and self-reflection. Each child can take the Don't Be That KID! Pledge found in the Guide, designed to empower kids while at the same time helping to establish initial goals and objectives.
