EDUCATING THE HEART
Lessons to Build Respect and Responsibility
Frank Siccone and Lilia López
“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.”
--Aristotle
Here is a resource specifically designed to help teachers meet two of the most demanding challenges they face — building students’ respect for themselves and others, and promoting responsibility both personal and social. It provides tools teachers can use to turn their classroom into a safe and productive environment where students are empowered to make a difference in their own lives and the lives of others.
At the heart of the book are over 90 carefully chosen activities, presented in a developmental sequence progressing from valuing the self to appreciating and participating in the world at large. Each lesson offers clear objectives and instructions so it can be put to use immediately, and many include reproducible worksheets. The activities are organized into chapters, each ending with a list of suggested student readings linked to the lessons in the chapter. An extensive bibliography is included at the back of the volume to help teachers select books of particular relevance to their students.
In organizing the activities, the authors have paid particular attention to educational objectives. Because self-identity and cultural identity are so intrinsically connected, the book begins with activities that celebrate children’s cultures — their names, languages, family patterns, and customs — along with their individuality. In the second section, lessons on interdependence encourage students to value one another and work cooperatively. The section on personal responsibility provides practice in goal setting and student empowerment. The activities in the social responsibility section build skills in problem-solving and conflict management, and involve students in community service projects. A philosophy of inclusion is reflected throughout the book through vignettes, quotes, and the activities themselves.
