At Home in Our Schools - A Guide to Schoolwide Activities That Build Community (Paperback, Study Guide ed.)

This Collegial Study Package is planned to involve parents and staff in designing and implementing community-building schoolwide activities. The approaches that make At Home in Our Schools particularly effective focus on inclusive, non-competitive activities and building relationships, from a "Family Heritage Museum" to a "Grandpersons Gathering", from a "Schoolwide Mural" to a "Family Read-Aloud". This package may lead you to rethink some of your favorite schoolwide standbys, discover new and satisfying alternatives and additions, and provide an organizing structure for your own creative ideas.

A 48-page Study Guide, structuring a series of four collaborative meetings for teachers, parents, and administrators. Useful to compare current activities to overall goals, plan and coordinate the implementation of a new or modified schoolwide activity, and reflect and celebrate its accomplishment. The guide does not stand alone; it is designed for use in conjunction with the book and video.
