If we are not careful, 'respect' can be an empty slogan, with no meaning in daily life. The activities outlined in these materials teach respect top-down and bottom-up, in other words through discussion of the principle, and through being in situations where respectful behaviour is necessary. They are written to emphasise that people are diverse, with diverse needs, and that this adds to the wealth of human experience. Furthermore, that considering a situation from other people's points of view leads to respect, and builds negotiation skills. Finally, the materials contribute to a flexibility of thinking that can be used in academic subjects across the board.
The activities included in this book can be used with students in all secondary year groups. Teachers' notes give suggestions on variations, as well as issues that can be discussed in final plenaries. But of course, human diversity being what it is, the students in your school may respond in totally different ways from those who have already worked through the activities...
The final section of the book is a series of 'Thought for the Week' type posters. They can be displayed at the same time as the activities are being done, or at different times, to provoke discussion and follow up activities.
