The Goal
To introduce the concept that “Leadership Is the Anti-Bully” at a young age. (Early prevention is key.)
Most Hopeful Bullying Prevention Statistic: When friends help out, 57 percent of the time bullying stops in 10 seconds. (Hawkins, Pepler, and Craig, Social Development, 2001).
One Can Count. Elementary school students have the power to be their best selves, including using their unique talents and personalities to contribute to the solution.
One’s messages of inclusion, empowerment, and tolerance is a simple but powerful tool that inspires students from Pre-K through 8th grade.
The second book in the series, Zero, introduces the topics of building self-esteem, image issues, and finding value in ourselves and in others while continuing the message, Everyone Counts![/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]
How Can My School/Organization use One Can Count?
As individual classroom activities, as a foundation for school-wide campaigns…or we found that the greatest impact is made when older students mentor younger students. When older students become the teachers, they become leaders. It creates a domino effect of leadership. What’s better than that?[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][image_with_animation image_url=”6336″ alignment=”center” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ el_class=”body-content” width=”1/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”6337″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]
