This no-prep resource is designed to provide students with a real-world opportunity to transform abstract concepts into experiential learning through safe role-play and mapping experiential empathy. Therefore, all upper elementary-aged children (8-12) will develop emotional intelligence by reducing the tendency to exhibit hostile attribution bias, and practice prosocial behaviors in a low-stakes learning environment. Immediate digital download is available, and the Curriculum may be easily printed and used immediately or utilized through Google Classroom.

Why Schools & Parents are Successful:

Both research and classrooms prove this method produces results. The basis for these materials is experiential learning theory, mirror neuron studies, and restorative practice; there is measurable growth in empathy and resolving conflicts.

You will find many ready-to-use worksheets, role-play scripts, and teacher guides to help you provide instant lessons that save you hours of planning for your classroom.

This is an effective method to help your son or daughter become more emotionally intelligent, eliminate hostile attribution bias, and help them develop real-life scripts for dealing with peer pressure, making apologies, and engaging in fair play.

Use this method for the whole classroom or in small groups or during counseling, and it will include different learners, multi-age groups and students with neuro-diversity.

Many parents report that their children demonstrate newfound positivebehaviour at home, and schools have successfully adopted this curriculum to reduce relational aggression and meet CASEL standards.

Intended target audience:

Grades 3 - 6 (approximately 8 to 12 years old) are referenced in every chapter and case study/worksheet in this curriculum as being appropriate for that age range and developmental level. The other target ages of K - 2 will not be appropriate due to more advanced cognitive requirements (the second-order Theory of Mind, perspective-taking, and restorative language frameworks) and to Grades 7+ (middle school) students for their focus on upper elementary social dynamics (recess exclusion, group projects, rumor spreading, sportsmanship).
