| Summary | Annotation Includes CD-Rom</p> <p></p> <p>'In light of Every Child Matters agenda and of the current emphasis on giving children a voice in important decision making situations, this book could be a valuable tool'- <b>Educational Psychology in Practice</p> <p></b></p> <p>'This is a great little book designed to help children between the ages nine and 12 to develop good relationships with each other and with other people... [It] includes clear guidance on ways in which children themselves can raise the self-esteem and social status of their less popular peers through listening, talking and understanding others' - <b>SENCO Update</p> <p></b></p> <p>Ruth and Tina draw upon their experiences to provide a peer support programme that encourages inclusive prosocial processes for young people aged nine to twelve. Drawing upon the philosophy of a Circle of Friends, they have developed a six-step programme that harnesses the skills of popular young people to help others who may have low social status.</p> <p></p> <p>The Talk Time programme builds on the message that relationships are what matter most and emphasizes that relationships happen through listening, talking and understanding others. </p> <p></p> <p>The book provides all the resources needed including: </p> <p>• facilitators’ notes </p> <p>• pupil resources</p> <p>• letter to parents</p> <p>• staff briefing sheet</p> <p>• pupil certificate. </p> <p></p> <p>The programme is intended to be run for a group of eight to twelve pupils once a week during lunch times for one term. The aim is to help all group members and hopefully carry over to improve the social climate of the classroom and create a positive and cooperative working environment.</p> <p></p> <p><b>Ruth MacConville</b> is the Head of the Special Educational Needs service, based in Ealing.</p> <p></p> <p><b>Tina Rae</b> is a Senior Educational Psychologist based in Hillingdon. |
