Growing GREEN InterActions, a Social Literacy Program to Be Our Better Selves in a Better World: Interactive Lesson Book
Is it possible to help change the actions of children so they are more polite, thoughtful in their actions, and sensitive to others?
Can they be encouraged to think before they act in order to take positive steps to connect with others?
Can they be taught to make decisions that are mutually beneficial for their Home, School and Friendship TEAM?
Can they be taught appropriate ways to communicate and interact with others?
With the Growing G.R.E.E.N. InterActions Program, the answer is "yes" to all of these questions.
Growing G.R.E.E.N. InterActions is a new social literacy program for guiding young people to act like they are part of a TEAM, no matter who they are with. It explicitly teaches how to be a team member who takes action for the common good, to meet Common Team Goals.
This engaging team-connecting program has been developed and successfully used in upper elementary and middle school classes. It provides explicit lessons, scripts, strategies and practice opportunities for students with social language disorders &/or emotional challenges. Participants learn to think first, analyze the situation, and then say or do things that other team members would consider to be helpful, pro-social and G.R.E.E.N., whether it is for expressing basic greetings, saying something supportive, seeking more information, sharing a different point of view, or navigating through the process of complex compromising. They learn to be G.R.E.E.N. for the TEAM with actions that are Grateful, Respectful, Easygoing, Empathetic, and Navigating.

Growing GREEN InterActions, a Social Literacy Program to Be Our Better Selves in a Better World: The Guide's Guide
The Guide's Guide is intended for teachers, therapists, and parents who will be Guides for the participants as they journey through the Growing G.R.E.E.N. InterActions Program. This guidebook is meant to help you, the Guide, understand the purpose of the program and how to best use the presented materials. In this way, you and the participants will actually be able to see improvements in social functioning, first in structured activities, and then in real-life situations. Through your guidance, you will help others learn the skills necessary for acting increasingly more G.R.E.E.N.: Grateful, Respectful, Easygoing, Empathetic and Navigating.
Growing G.R.E.E.N InterActions™ has been developed to foster social analysis skills and pro-social behavior in individuals with emotional and pragmatic language challenges. However, the program's concepts and integrative activities have also been found to be effective with participants from the general population to help them improve their social skills. The target population for this program is upper elementary and middle school students, but some lessons and approaches of the program have been used successfully with primary grade students. Other lessons and strategies have been useful when shared with high school students and adults who can benefit from development of their pro-social skills.
