This program is designed to increase positive social interaction—to stop the day-to-day bullying, teasing, and fighting that take up much of a counselor’s time. You'll find a selection of ideas that recognize students who perform good deeds, students who set a good example, and students who excel academically. (Includes a CD-ROM of the activities.)
