A Curriculum that Links Education, the Mind and the Heart
Best-selling author Mark Le Messurier has crafted a curriculum filled with guided conversations, practical lessons and activities that link education, the mind and the heart. He moves beyond positive mindsets to immersing students into the beauty of what it is to be human, focusing on kindness, perseverance, optimism, integrity, assertiveness, empathy, responsibility, teamwork, creativity and more.
His work paves the way for practitioners to develop an emotionally responsive environment where young human beings can grow. This practical book encourages children to look inside themselves, discover their identity, find happiness and equip them with skills they can use effectively in the future.
This book is a gamechanger. Mark's practical approach is applied through a humane lens; "with soft eyes
and warm hearts" to better understand children’s development, emotion and behaviour. For more:

Archie's BIG BOOK of Friendship Adventures (Revised edition, 2019) Originally designed to partner, What's the Buzz? For EARLY LEARNERS, this book now has a life of its own! This large format book contains all sixteen Archie stories and will have your children, or students, spellbound as they plunge themselves into the social and emotional world of our much-loved character, Archie. In each story Archie faces a new social dilemma; the very same issues that occur in the everyday lives of all children. Archie, however, will need to rely on your children's 'smart thinking' to solve the hiccups he encounters! As the children lead Archie to be a more confident social thinker, they'll also learn how the social world works and the values of friendship. This beautifully illustrated book is suitable for children aged from 4 to 10 years of age.
Has been written by Mark Le Messurier and Madhavi Nawana Parker as a response to the popularity of their previous 'What's the Buzz?'
It's designed for children aged from 4 to 7 years and uses the same format to build social and emotional connections between kids. It will be available in October, 2014.
Each lesson follows the exploits of Archie, the loveable little character on the cover of the book. Lesson by lesson, the children have the opportunity to listen to a story about how Archie finds himself in yet another social dilemma. The goal of each lesson is for the children to discuss, role-play and decide ways Archie could deal with this new social predicament constructively. Each lesson concludes with the remainder of Archie's story. The anticipation from the children is palpable as they sit and listen, hoping that Archie has found a way to deal with the problem that was similar to their solutions.
As we continue to write a number of our friends who work in schools and organisations are trialing lessons from the book and we're ever so grateful. If you wish to trial some of these lessons please email Mark - mark@marklemessurier.com.au
It is for children, who for all manner of reasons, struggle to make friends and fit in socially.
Current research reveals that teaching 'social thinking' to young people with social delay does improve children's ability to interact socially. Kids can learn these vital living skills through direct teaching, role-play practice and social games in the context of a small friendly group.
