Product Description
This highly acclaimed, award winning program is now being used with over one million students worldwide. Extensive, complete, and easy-to-implement, its skill building approach to developing the five essential building blocks of self-esteem is thoroughly researched and proven effective. The impressive pilot program results reported a 46% drop in detention, a 39% drop in verbal aggression, and a 41% drop in physical aggression. Through development of the five building blocks of self-esteem, students become self-empowered and capable of internally directing themselves. Real team-building is in evidence among adults and students alike. Students display stronger inner motivation and a take charge attitude. Personal and social responsibility go way up. Staff morale and collegiality are significantly improved. Parent involvement and partnership are up, discipline problems are way down, and everyone is working together! Each Esteem Builder book stands alone and is designed to integrate into a total systems approach for a school-wide/district-wide program. Grades K-8.

Outstanding curriculum guide and resource for all educators. August 12, 1999
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
I've referred to this guide every August as I create long-term plans for the school year. The ideas and activities help cement a sense of harmony and safety in my classroom. The program works because it builds upon the five sequential components of healthy self-esteem. I've implemented this curriculum in both an inner-city and a more rural setting--with success. Dr. Borba offers such endless ideas for all ages. This curriculum is easy to integrate into the school day, and it encourages school-wide participation. The program also offers powerful long-range effects: children learn to set realistic goals and define their sense of mission. A must-have for all educators and administrators.
If you work with kids, you've got to have this book! November 26, 2006
Tennessee Teacher (Memphis)
Don't be put off by the price because this book is worth its weight in gold. As a public school teacher, I refer to this book throughout the year, each and every year. We can't assume our children know what "teamwork", appropriate behavior or even "good sportmanship" is. We often need to provide explicit instruction and plenty of practice. This book offers literally hundreds of activities to teach those social and interpersonal skills many of our kids seem to lack. My classroom is a happy, welcoming, enjoyable oasis in the school thanks to Dr. Borba's book.
