Celebrations – 195 + 1 certificates (Reference #P/CEL7LD)
Authors: Robinson & Maines
It is all too easy to forget to celebrate those children who are not successful in the traditionally valued achievements, academic, sporting and musical performance. Research findings have shown that young people of all ages value a note or certificate to take home to parents or carers. This is preferred to praise or tokens of school merit such as points or stickers.
This collection of copiable certificates provides an opportunity to celebrate every possible behaviour or personality characteristic we could think of… many examples reward responsible behaviours towards other people and the environment… ordinary things like showing a visitor around or caring for the plants.
There are 196 key-copies, half A4 size and wire bound for easy use on the photocopier. An introduction on self esteem and a pupil record sheet challenges the teacher to use one a day!

Children in Control (Reference #P/CHI1LD)
Author: Allen
The author suggests that, for some pupils, our hopes that they will assume responsibility for their own behaviour must be postponed until they have the ability to achieve self-control. Until that time the responsible adults can assist them and ensure their entitlement to education and safety by assuming that control. The text and the photo-copiable discussion scenarios offer encouragement, strategies the reader will want to try tomorrow and simple procedures refine blunt reward and punishment systems.

Dealing with Feeling – An Emotional Literacy Curriculum (Reference #P/DEA1LD)
Author: Rae
The author is a support teacher working with young people with emotional and behavioural difficulties. She is also an artist. Combining these skills she has produced an exciting, attractive pack of materials which have been received with enthusiasm in the schools used to trial them. Tina introduces the rationale for her work with reference to the publication “Emotional Intelligence” by Daniel Goleman.
On completion of one of the set activities or the Activity Worksheet, the next part of the session involves making use of the self control strategy. This specific traffic light method is aimed at promoting behavioural skills, and encourages pupils to conduct an inner dialogue, make use of a stepped approach to solving problems and to attempt to control certain impulses. (This method is developed from the one described in Daniel Goleman’s book p276).
The publication contains a set of lesson plans for 20 different feelings with copiable resources for each including:
* defining the feeling
* understanding the feeling through story
* problem solving
* managing self control strategies
* drama, discussion, drawing, writing and follow up activities
This pack is a real must for every teacher who knows that, if we are to teach young people to achieve academic success then the job is made easier for us and for them when their emotional literacy is recognised as a priority.
