Product Description:

A curriculum promoting understanding and appreciation of different perspectives, leading to respect for diversity and support for truly inclusive school communities. The 20 lessons are based on the idea that, in order to attain sustained change of behavior, one must be aware of and willing to examine the paradigms underlying behavior, as well as understand the paradigms underlying the behavior of others. Lessons are clustered around four themes: My Perspective, Other Perspectives, Accepting Others, and Working Together. Unique features of the curriculum include reflection questions for the teacher or facilitator to review before presenting the lessons, and a focus on communicating the lesson content to parents or other adults in the students' lives.
