Teach the Heartwood Attributes with an Emphasis on Social-Emotional Learning!
T.R.U.E. Guidance connects learning about ethics with solving children's problems in everyday life. The issues children face today call for new strategies. Heartwood's T.R.U.E. Guidance helps school counselors, educators, and after-school staff coach students to become resilient and develop strong character. As one of the newest resources developed by Heartwood to teach children ethics and character education, this kit enables educators to connect the experiences of characters in the stories to students' own lives. Discussion sections and activities provide a framework for addressing a wide range of such counseling issues as bullying, grief, anger, and self esteem. Heartwood’s literature-based Ethics and Character Education Curriculum connects the experiences of characters in the stories to students’ own lives.
