We hope the new year of 2008 is off to a good beginning at your school!
In case you haven't heard, we are VERY excited about the newest addition to our curriculum offerings...REALITY CHECK!
Reality Check
is a new, hip and engaging set of booklets designed for the
middle-level and high school students. The contemporary design was
created to attract today’s students. The booklet format allows
for flexibility and convenience.
There are nine (9) booklets in the Reality Check series; each one is
designed to be taught over one month's time. Each booklet
contains twenty lessons spread over a 4-week period. Each week
focuses on a different Kolb learning style - think, talk, act,
do. Creative and engaging learning activities include higher
order thinking skills and a variety of contexts such as individual
reflection and cooperative grouping.
The first nine booklets in the series are:
• Confidence • Honesty
• Humility • Humor
• Integrity • Patience
• Persistence • Respect
• Responsibility
The new Reality Check
series allows for greater focus and depth of understanding and
integration. By teaching only nine positive character per year,
more time can be spent on each trait.
We've already begun writing another set of nine booklets and when we're
finished, the Reality Check series will have a total of 27
booklets. You will be able to pick the nine you want that best
meet your needs and create the emphasis that will best transform the
culture and climate of your school.
Like all of our Changing Lives products, the Reality Check lessons are
teacher-friendly... minimal preparation time for teachers yet creating maximum engagement and learning by students.
