Beth Dichter's insight:
In this post Jackie Gerstein provides a great list of books that you could use to teach children about the skills and attributes that they need to learn. She states " Children’s books, as they are written and presented as stories, have great potential to explain these often abstract concepts. There is also evidence that the brain processes stories differently and more powerfully than facts and lectures."
The stories are divided into sections:
* Grit
* Resilience
* Hope & Optimism
* Vision
* Self-Regulation
* Empathy & Global Awareness
There is also a list of books suggested by Tony Wagner in the areas of Critical Thinking and Problem Solving, Collaboration and Curiosity and Imagination.
Although geared to children some are appropriate for older students.
The forgotten, but essential, skills! #mersd #studentengagement
