New Asset-Building series for Kids

I'm really excited to see this new set of books around the Developmental Assets.


A Leader's Guide to The Adding Assets Series for Kids Book with CD-ROM Activities and Strategies for Positive Youth Development by Ann Redpath, Pamela Espeland, and Elizabeth Verdick

This comprehensive, easy-to-use asset-building curriculum for grades 3-6 includes 42 sessions: one for each of the 40 assets, plus introductory and concluding sessions. Each session includes activities, discussion prompts, and a handout to bring home to parents and other family adults. For schools, districts, and states that have implemented standards-based education, a detailed chart shows how each session correlates with specific standards in the areas of character education, health, social studies, social and emotional learning, and language arts. The included CD-ROM features all of the reproducible forms from the book and an additional 40 pages of student handouts used in the sessions.

These are the books in the series:
