Summary Annotation Includes CD-Rom<p>Pupils are rarely taught the principles of effective co-operation although being able to work effectively as part of a group is critical in all contexts; school, life and work.</p><p>The book is based on the author&acirc;&#128;&#153;s practical experience of running the programme in schools and is underpinned by research into the development of pro-social behaviour and friendship skills.</p><p>The 26 sessions are arranged in the sequence of the alphabet from Attitude to the Zest for life. In each session there is a poster and a &acirc;&#128;&#152;take away&acirc;&#128;&#153; activity as well as full facilitators&acirc;&#128;&#153; notes for whole class introduction, pair and share tasks and a plenary.
