This book offers a careful look at how we came to have our
traditional education system, and how it met the needs of a
different time. By looking back at the past we can take on the task
of change without casting blame, but with understanding. We will
consider the systems design of the curriculum driven
one-size-fits-all educational model, why it no longer meets our
needs, and how to devise a system which can deliver a better future
for our children and for ourselves as educators.

Have you ever seen a bully in action and done nothing about it? The
kids at Pete's new school get involved, instead of being
bystanders. When Pete begins to behave badly, his classmates teach
him about "The Promise." Will Pete decide to shed his bullying
habits and make "The Promise"?
When Emily asks her big sister what the word empathy means, she
discovers an answer that will change how she looks at people.
Empathy is the ability to notice what other people feel. As she
goes through her day, Emily learns more about the people on the
bus, in school, and at home, than she guessed possible. And she
learns how much people appreciate it when their feelings and
experiences are noticed. This experience changes the way Emily
looks at people, and perhaps it changes the way she is perceived by
others. Through the eyes of young child, the reader experiences how
people appreciate the simple kindness of someone noticing how they
feel. Stand in My Shoes shows kids how easy it is to develop
empathy toward those around them. Empathy is the foundation for all
social skills and personal relationships, which make our lives
richer and more beautiful. This book teaches young children the
value of noticing how other people feel. We're hoping that many
parents read it along with their children.
