It is imperative that teachers build community in their classrooms
and across their academic teams and grades in order to make school
a safe and supportive place for adolescents. Teachers must help
their students acknowledge that they belong to a group together,
that they are part of a "we" or "us," and that any
differences-divergent talents, backgrounds, experiences, cultures,
and skills-only make "us" stronger and better. No More "Us" and
"Them" delineates what steps educators can take to create an
atmosphere where adolescent students feel accepted, included, and
valuable to themselves and to their peers. The goal of this book is
to change adolescent attitudes to lead to not just acceptance and
tolerance, but toward an expansion of "us" and respect for their
classmates that will serve to spread an even wider net of respect.
This book provides ideas for lessons and activities that can be
integrated into existing curricula and that meet a variety of
content area standards in language arts, social studies, science,
mathematics, foreign languages, physical education, art, and music,
while also proposing ideas for advisory or homeroom periods and
class, team, and grade gatherings to build respect in our
classrooms, our schools, and our communities.
