Synopsis:

Edited by Mark Amendola and Robert Oliver, this and other Prepare Curriculum Implementation Guides are intended to further Dr. Arnold P. Goldstein’s seminal work, The Prepare Curriculum: Teaching Prosocial Competencies. In conjunction with Dr. Goldstein’s Prepare Curriculum, the guides describe and give direction to the continued expansion of Prepare methods, offering practitioners coherent, evidence-based approaches for enhancing the social, emotional, and decision-making abilities of adolescents and younger children.

The center also provides training in K–12 model guidance programs, restorative justice, parent empowerment, conflict mediation, peer helping, effective discipline programs, grant writing, alternative school development, and schoolwide character education. In addition to her work with the center, Dr. Salmon has implemented the We Teach Peace program in more than 11 states and in Norway, Sweden, Poland, Belize, Japan, and Cambodia.
