13 & Counting: Be the Difference. This item is unavailable.13 & Counting: Be the Difference

Life between the ages of 10 and 18 is particularly interesting. Young people are learning all sorts of new things and navigating a lot of changes changing schools, changing classrooms, changing friends, changing bodies, changing emotions and changing hormones. They, also, may be dealing with the changes that bullying brings to their lives or the lives of their friends.

In these pages, teachers have classroom-friendly activities that will challenge their middle-level learners to think and behave differently, to learn to value differences in one another and to work to actively prevent bullying. All of the activities are designed to keep students engaged and active!

To help teachers make the most of these activities, Zentic ties the social skills and activities to their respective executive function. She even includes flipped classroom ideas!

This is the first book in the 13 & Counting series.

Tamara Zentic is a veteran middle school teacher with more than 20 years of experience. In addition to a master's degree in youth development, Zentic has a unique eye for creating lessons and strategies that tap into the emotional world of students, helping them to process and solve social dilemmas.
