No More "Us" and "Them": Classroom Lessons and Activities to Promote Peer Respect
Autor Lesley Roessing Cuvânt înainte de Edward N. Brazeeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 iun 2012
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.

Truly a book embracing the 21st century learner which is focused on the STUDENT! In No More 'Us' and 'Them', teachers are provided strategies to hook students to become responsible for their own learning. A must read for every middle school teacher.
We have a lot to learn from our students and each other. Lesley Roessing shares her story that illustrates just how much you can discover through the power of collaboration. This book is a vehicle to share ideas and proven successful strategies. Just like our classrooms, our professional community 'is built cumulatively, one activity at a time.'
At the core of teaching and learning is a meaningful relationship between teachers and students. This new generation of learners requires special cultivation, purposeful dialogue, and relevant exposure. In No More 'Us' and 'Them,' Lesley Roessing does a masterful job of laying the foundation for teachers to use the stories in her book to inspire their own creativity in their classrooms to capture, inspire, and teach students who are unlike any generation before them. An easy read, with a powerful message of collaboration at its best, every teacher should read this book. It will motivate even the mediocre teacher to feel empowered to give more, listen more, and, more importantly, deliver more.
The research and literature is very clear that effective middle level schools create a personalized school environment by building connections with their students-and where better to start this endeavor than in the classroom? Roessing's book not only shares the importance of building relationships between and among students, but gives practical, engaging strategies and activities that will appeal to young adolescents and help them learn to accept, value and respect both themselves and others.
During a time of Common Core Standards and a 'teaching-to-the-test' mentality, Roessing reminds us that we have affective reasons to teach as well-the next generation must learn to respect and value differences or the world may actually cease to exist. Likewise, in a time when literature is being replaced by 'reading,' Roessing gives us a text that articulately shows why literature is important and how it should be used across the curriculum....This text puts the heart back into teaching.
