New Kid in School by Debra Rader
This book provides educators and support staff with viable and inspired ways to meet the particular needs of children in transition, whether it be children who have recently moved to a new home or children who will be moving in the future. This ground-breaking volume provides a model of transition education that can be used in all elementary schools - public, independent, and international - and is easily integrated into an existing curriculum. The authors have chosen quality children's literature as a springboard for learning about transitions and have developed excellent follow-up activities to use in the classroom. Books include those written by such beloved children's authors as Eve Bunting and Betty Bao Lord and some newer favorites like Kevin Henkes. Appendices include Children's Literature Resources, Suggested Resources Related to Transition, and Tips for Parents.
This book is a practical, thoughtful, inspiring catalogue of the issues that affect all children on the move - and their parents too- From the Foreword by Robert R. Spillane, Regional Education Officer, Office of Overseas Schools, U.S. Department of State; I am always looking for tools to make a difference in the lives of young people. In this volume, Debra Rader and Linda Sittig bridge the gap from theory to practice by using literature in the classroom to address key issues of the 21st century. A must for serious, caring educators. - David C. Pollock, Executive Director of Interaction International Inc., Houghton, New York
