Engage Students to Embrace Civility

Introduction to the Book

I am pleased to provide you with some documents that will help you to learn more about Engage Students to Embrace Civility.

Introduction of Book

Structure of Book

Endorsements

Chapter 6. This chapter provides the Positively Powerful resilience strategies. I can provide a workshop for school staff on trauma, these resilience strategies, and recommendations on how they can intervene when students become disruptive or are hurtful. 

Appendices

As I stated in the book, rather than include appendices in the book, I am providing them online. In this way, you will be able to create your own documents for use locally.

Investigation Protocol

Character Strengths Survey

Embrace Civility Student Survey

By purchase of the book, schools can preview the Embrace Civility Survey  and use it with their students to obtain this data. However, use of the data for instructional activities will require acquiring the Empowered to Embrace Civility Program. .
