Includes CD-Rom ` I would recommend this book to educational
psychologists as it enables realistic interventions within realistic
timeframes′-Educational Psychology in Practice `Nothing is so
exhausting as indecision, and nothing is so futile′ - Bertrand
Russell .. and teachers, parents and carers worry that the decisions
that children and young people make might be unwise or dangerous.
Decision making is a skill involving both a cognitive and an affective
process. The ability to: - recognize the thoughts and feelings; -
consider the consequences; - choose the best outcome; is a highly
valued facility leading to resilience, achievement and responsibility.
The skill can be taught and in these three volumes the authors provide
all the materials needed to teach a course on decision making at each
age level. The programme provides a menu of stories related to the
real life experiences of the young people. Topics are selected to be
age appropriate and the series includes: " Stealing; " Lying; " Social
behaviours; " Risks; " Justice; " Loss,Grief and Bereavement; "
Prejudice; " First love; " Disability; " Leaving home; " Family
relationships. The teacher notes indicate ′stopping points′ where
reflection and discussion is encouraged. A choice of endings is
offered or the young people can develop their own ideas about what
might happen next. The course can be introduced at any age or used to
develop the skills through school life from early years to the teens.
′You′d be hard pushed to find a better decision-making programme
than this excellent set of books... This series will undoubtedly
kick-start conversation, prod thinking and stimulate classroom
debate′ - Times Educational Supplement Magazine
