The Don't Get Me Started! Toolkit Jr. Workbook

Empathy, critical thinking, good decision-making and cultural awareness are all needed to keep our public-behavior-wheels turning smoothly. Without it, daily life will continue to be a mine-field where people stumble culturally-- creating the impression that they are 'culturally clueless'. The authors of "The Don't Get Me Started Toolkit Strategies for a Culturally-Challenged World" share their toolkit of skills for 4th and 5th grade students. After finishing this workbook, students will be able to skillfully assess and respond to the many challenging situations they may encounter in this rapidly changing world. So whether they are playing games online, using a 'gender-free' restroom, sharing a picture on Facebook and other social media sites, talking with friends in a cafe, or participating in an intergenerational event - they will be able to determine how the rules have changed and act in a manner that assures more successful outcomes. Being 'culturally-clueless' may not land them in jail...but it could very well make 4th and 5th grade students eventually less competitive in the job marketplace, less admired among their peers and less respected within their families.
