About this ebook
Soaring: From Literature to Leadership is the result of research in developmental psychology, socialization theory, years of teaching childrens and adolescent literature and the awareness that moral judgment development takes place in the classroom as well as in the home. Dr. Yeager has devised five research-based activities which can be applied to any piece of literature, Merging the literature with the five activities provides the opportunity for movement toward moral maturity and, reserch tells us, leadership among peers. The Soaring Program presented here includes fables, fairy tales, and seven novels. It is meant to be used in classrooms and/or at home. It is hoped that teachers and parents will follow the examples and create additional resources for advanement of moral judgment by merging the five activities with literature they love. Copies of all handouts in the book are available free upon request from [email protected]
About the author
Dr. Barbara Yeager taught language and literature to undergraduate and graduate students for over fifty years.She enjoyed her research on the findings of Kohlberg regarding the development of moral judgment in children. As she and her husband Jack raised their five children, they were always interested in encouraging moral maturity in the family. The five are now happy and successful adults while Jack and Barbara are retired. They are now encouraging the growth and development of thier grandchildren. From research, reading, and the recognition that the Soaring Program can have a positive influence on the lives of children, parents, and teachers, this publication was born.
