Professional development activities have proven adequate to
facilitate mastery of new content, inform teachers of best
practice, and for dissemination of information, however, such
efforts fail to address the emotional and personal aspects of the
teaching profession. Here is a hands-on activities book that
provides school leaders an easy-to-use format for the delivery of
professional development sessions for K-12 personnel. It details
three major topics: social realities (e.g. societal trauma),
diversity (e.g. Disabilities), and community conundrums (e.g.
economic uncertainties). The uniqueness of this book is the
activity design using children's literature to provide a neutral
framework for discussion of often-difficult issues. The authors
provide an opportunity for teachers to explore their underlying
assumptions, unacknowledged biases, or often unspoken feelings
about issues that are central to student success. They seek to
regain professional responsibility to solve problems and improve
education in our ever-changing world. For administrators or teacher
leaders who are on the cutting edge of facilitating professional
development for problem solving issues in our schools.
