Each student will create a bibliotherapy intervention/ curriculum (for a parent and a teacher) to increase the use of empathic socially practical programs in the child’s school and home. The sample curriculum should be based on a book from children’s literature (Prek-8th grade), and the intervention created should be related to the book theme and should be reflected in the activities embedded in the curriculum. This created curriculum intervention should include things relevant for individuals/or groups, families/ parents, and teachers. Please consider developmental, cognitive, and emotional factors when selecting the activity/ directive. Also remember that you want to see if your intervention is working so also include a way to monitor client progress (data collection practices and tools) for the parent and the teacher when they implement your social-emotional literacy intervention. The curriculum should be written in a way that it can be completed by a teacher in the context of a school day and by the parent in the home.

I have also included a google doc file with additional information on Elmer the Elephant
I have also included a student example for the parent and teacher curriculum. It does not have to be as complicated as the example is. Just ensure the information is in there, I will handle the design piece of the assignment
