| Summary |
In an easy-to-use format, this book contains: a curriculum of sequenced and developmental group process activities designed to make school meaningful for every student; practical guidance on how to become skillful in the art and science of facilitative group process; and step-by-step instruction on how to create a caring learning environment in which young people are simultaneously engaged on emotional and intellectual levels. Andersen's model puts an emphasis on the new "Rs" in education - respect, responsibility, relationships, and reflection - helping students develop character while cultivating academic proficiency. Applying Andersen's group process techniques can make every lesson, and school itself, more meaningful and purposeful for students |

All teachers have the potential to become "facilitative educators," but it requires courage, practice, and the right training. Courageous Teaching presents activities and processes that are based on the work of some of the most respected contemporary psychologists. These methods have been tested with thousands of students and educators across the country, and they work in every classroom at all grade levels. Unlike other group process programs, Courageous Teaching enables participants to achieve ongoing effectiveness. What makes Andersen's approach so unique and successful is the developmental sequence that is incorporated into the curriculum of activities. Rather than relying on fun and entertainment, these activities have profound meaning for students and have been successful with even the most resistant of high school students |
