Flexible School Implementation
School-wide Implementation
T.R.U.E. Choices has the potential to change the culture of a school when it is implemented by many teachers in many settings and students are frequently reminded of the importance of Courage, Loyalty, Justice, Respect, Hope, Honesty, and Love. Posters, banners, and student work on the school walls will enhance the program's impact. School-wide or grade level events related to the program and the attributes will inspire students and strengthen your school's vision and commitment.

Whole School Package includes:
3 Strands, 21 Units (7 per Strand/Grade) and 2 Large Group Events packets: $1,275 (15% savings if bought separately)

The strongest implementation involves everyone in the school and exposes students to Heartwood in many settings, from individual classrooms to grade-wide or whole school assemblies and projects. Individual classroom units (2 books focusing on one attribute plus curriculum materials) may also be purchased separately.

Grade Level Implementation includes:
1 Strand with 7 units and 1 Large Group Event packet: $472 (12% savings)

Includes a unit for each attribute theme, with all 14 readings and instructional materials focused on a social studies region (Europe/Latin America/Canada; Asia/Africa; United States). Units may be presented in language arts, social studies, and/or other settings for maximum exposure and flexibility. A powerful tool for theme-based learning!

Classroom Units include:
1 Unit: $75

Includes 2 literature selections (picture books, short stories, anthologies); reading-language arts, social studies, and conflict resolution lesson plans and instructions for each selection; reproducibles for each selection (graphic organizers, conflict resolution skill builders); attribute poster; and mini-manual with background information and lesson design. Packaged in sturdy attractive, vinyl portfolios.

Packets for creating and presenting these events are free with the purchase of grade-level strands of T.R.U.E. choices and are also sold separately ($120 each). They include DVDs, books, speaking points, and other materials.

Hero Assembly

Purposeful mural-making is a way to bring unity to your community and transform conflict in the process. These larger-than-life creations are impressive in size and designed to be shared with the broader community.
