How to Create Kind Schools: 12 extraordinary projects making schools happier and helping every child fit in – Jenny Hulme
Celebrating the 30th anniversary of Kidscape, this unique book brings together 12 well-known charities (and their celebrity supporters) to share a collection of innovative projects which promote inclusion, tolerance and kindness.
Each individual story provides an insight into the creative and innovative projects taking place in schools to support learners – from a gay role model to a peer mentor, a dance workshop to a gardening club, an autism ambassador to a travelling Gypsy theatre group.
This book will provide inspiration for all educators looking for imaginative, yet practical ways to support those learners who don’t always feel like they fit in.
