“Marc Levitt’s new book, Changing Curriculum through Stories: Character Education for Ages 10-12, provides upper-grade elementary teachers with an interdisciplinary blueprint to help them teach their students ethical behaviors and decision-making. Major themes addressed include the ramifications of: Gossiping, Teasing, Bullying, Cooperating, Forgiving, and Friendship. Utilizing short narratives, folk tales, fables, and Levitt’s own personal experiences, students are drawn to examine the problematic situations that the various characters find themselves encountering. I believe this book to be a valuable resource for teachers to promote classroom cooperation and support students as they explore and find ‘their better angels.”
Mark Schwartz, retired principal of Salinas City Elementary District, California
